Riding around last night...10:19 pm...and I saw this tree!

Great night for a ride...
 
It’s tough to find big trees in the cities, here in Southern California.
It seems like anything 35 years old gets cut down or demolished.

As I whizzed by this street on my 1939, Sears 53rd Anniversary Special, Elgin Twinbar, I took a double take.
It took all the back pressure I could muster, to get that finned Elgin/Musselman to stop in time, to snap this picture of some tall fan palms.
Washingtonia robusta,
It takes about 80 years for this species to get this size.
So these Palms were planted just about the same time that Westfield Mfg. was building this bike.
Nice legacy guys!
Thanks, much appreciated.
