Senior citizens in Munford don’t think so, and they showed it by protesting the removal of somewhat of a local landmark — a pecan tree.
The Munford Council had voted to remove it, citing safety reasons, but seniors gathered around the tree with signs of protest and a determination to stop the removal. They talked of the tree’s importance to the community — a place where seniors like to assemble or where they pick pecans in the fall.
And it appears city hall is listening. The removal has been delayed, and it will be the topic of a work session Sept. 15.
We admire the seniors for taking a stand on what they believe in. And we commend the mayor and council for listening to their concerns and stopping the purported wheels of progress.
