Los Angeles city residents can get free trees from the city.
You can have them delivered to you to plant in your yard, or you can request them for the sidewalk, and they will come plant them for you.

Inspired by the demand that they more greatly resemble the German generals, they embarked upon a quest to do their own research. Having been inexplicably stranded in 1945 by their Cybertruck time machine, J. Alito and Gen. Flynn attempt to blend in with the prisoners being liberated from Dachau.

ART I LIKE #7: American stained glass c.1900 is the best there ever was: mass immigration meant many new churches. Tiffany did the Protestant ones, but John La Farge did the Catholic ones just as well. His 1904 "Christ Between the Apostles" (at Boston College), is a real stunner. #stainedglass #art
