It was a huge event yet we found some history. It was footnoted and never brought up again . They moved houses, destroyed trees blah blah blah. Salem on the move! </p>Bob commented on 'Beautiful bigleaf maple damaged by another City of Salem screwup'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201bb09b60208970d2017-08-05T06:12:46Z2017-08-07T03:15:59ZBob Thank you for sharing this.
