Sprucing Up for the Holidays?

Here’s an oddity that recently turned up on a nearby Elysian Heights street corner. My only guess is that, with the 2007 Holiday Season upon us, someone decided it was finally time to clear their living room for a fresh tree. (And you thought people who leave their Christmas lights up year round were tacky…) Anyway, I’m all for that time-honored saying, “Out with the old and in with the new.” I just wish people would stop dumping all their old junk here in Echo Park.
