those are groomed to be that way. ah the second pic I have seen that here. just cant recall where I saw it.

The ones I saw & was intrigued by were not groomed. There just wasn't any way for the trees to be climbed - by monkeys or kids. I thought perhaps they would be soft to the touch ... nope, not really. Still, they are stunning!

I thought there was several at that McKee's ?

It's so sad to see these properties are now located just feet from the street.

I know. it wasn't that way even in my youth. if they widen that road. that home will go bye, bye. its not a historical registered sight. it should be.

They were mentioned on the old video of the gardens, but I don't know if they're still around.

Widening roads have been the bane of many of property owner. When a busy street is just feet from your front door, you know you're going to have problems selling to get away from the traffic.

oslo wont be widened any time soon. I took those a few hours ago. its a four lane road when really it was not needed to be one yet. they just widened it just to be ready but even with the snow birds its never back logged. it was a two line up to the sandridge(the hill) in 2007. when I was a kid this home and its sister to the south were the only things on old this intersection. they were also lit up for Christmas.

It would have been fun to see the two houses lit up for Christmas! Special memories!

years ago. 80's

There was a neighborhood in Urbana (IL) that lit up every Christmas season. I remember quite a few properties being lit up ala Clark Griswold's home in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."
