Serpents Among the Sycamores

It is ironic that St. Patrick's Day, the time of shamrocks and wearin' of the green, should come when Memorial Drive's own soon to bloom greenery stands threatened. Today's green holiday looks forward to warm spring reveries beneath the sycamores. But the Metropolitan District Commission would take away the trees to make roads of our riverbanks.

St. Patrick saved the verdant Emerald Isle by driving away the snakes. One wonders how he would respond to the MDC.
