Or perhaps the perfect sub-plot for a real-life Parks and Rec episode. A few years ago, city workers yanked a dying oak tree from inside the perimeter of the tennis court in Savin Hill. A neighbor, Heidi Moesigner, wanted the tree— which she says offered welcome shade for tennis players without interfering in play—replaced. So she began the online application process to start the ball rolling. Others have since joined her cause. That was a few years ago— and there has been no replacement tree planted. Earlier this year, with plans afoot to re-surface the courts, Moesigner stepped up her call for a new tree, asking Parks and Recreation officials to review the matter. She heard back from one city official— Gregory Mosman, an arborist and tree warden— who told her that the tennis court was built around the tree, but that— essentially— it wouldn’t make sense to put Shown with Lou Pasquale on his 87th birthday are friends (l-r) Mike Owens, Phil Buswell, Paul Nash, a replacement tree within the existing court.

A group of friends, admirers and co-workers “Every day I get up and I can’t wait to go to work,” She started an online petition for the new tree that surprised Lou Pasquale, the longtime Phillips Pasquale told the Reporter in 2006. “It’s like my has garnered over 100 signatures.
