Question by Gregory In Sunny San Diego!: Did you know that The City Of San Diego has a "No Ficus Tree Policy?"? San Diego will not take care of existing Ficus Trees along some city streets. The City of San Diego has a money problem and Urban Foresting is at the very bottom the priorities which is bad enough, but when asked to prune certain Ficus trees in Hillcrest in 1989, the City of San Diego sad that they won't do it. They recommended that if they wanted the City to take care of them they would have to be cut down (these are over 70 year old trees) and new trees planted. So, the wonder full local Business association, Hillcrest Business Association, raised the money to design and fix the sidewalks to accommodate the Ficus trees roots. I can't tell you how upset it makes me when I see more and more stores and parking lots being built and trees being at the very bottom of our priorities. Ficus trees are beautiful, especially when allowed to grow that big! If you live in San Diego, Do something. Let your city counsel member know that you love Trees! Boycott the newly built Walgreen's in North Park. They cut down 13 Mature Ficus trees to fix up the parking lot that was already there. These trees surrounded the parking lot. They were gigantic. They cut the ones that blocked the view of their sign and front entrance. One by one they hacked those trees, with permission from our Ficus Hating City of San Diego.

Sounds like you need some people from ISA, International Society of Arboriculture to get involved. I'm sure there are members in the San Diego area.....they need to start rattling their swords (or saws). You seem like a good figher, contact ISA and see what can be done to raise public awareness. The County Extension Serivce has a Master Gardener program, many of these are looking for a cause to get involved. Find them. Local garden clubs (Master Gardeners can help there), the local chapter of Landscape Architects or even architects, historical preservationists, etc are all who might want to take this on.

you city dwellers are so funny, why don't you move to the country, I'm looking out my window at trees trees trees, for 100's and thousands of square miles there is nothing but trees. And I live in Texas. By the way all the trees here are orange, yellow, purple and red against the backdrop of green majestic pines. Fall is so pretty in eastern Texas. No traffic no pollution I'm in heaven.

Fifty years after the Cuban missile crisis, the National Archives in Washington has pulled together documents and secret White House recordings to show the public how President John F. Kennedy deliberated to avert nuclear war.
The exhibit opens Friday to recount the showdown with the Soviet Union. It is called "To the Brink: JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis."
In the fall of 1962, Soviet Premiere Nikita Khrushchev ordered a secret deployment of a nuclear strike force in Cuba. The missiles would be able to reach most U.S. cities within five minutes.
Kennedy said the missiles would not be tolerated, but Khrushchev refused to remove them. A standoff lasted 13 days in October 1962 before it was peacefully resolved.
The exhibit moves to Boston's Kennedy Presidential Library in April.
