Who is responsible for the monstrous pole that has been erected at the intersection of Woodward and Avalon?
It is hideously ugly and right in the midst of the group of flag poles. Is it a cellular company's tower?

The trees and wooded areas fell victim to the "growth" of businesses and subdivisions.quote:Originally posted by StarryNight:
Unfortunately, all of Muscle Shoals is an eyesore. I've never understood why there are no trees there. Is it something to do with the geography of the area?

Was told this morning that apparently these towers are for the camera system. These are for traffic control and not for writing tickets etc. Big Brother is watching you.
What do you mean when you say no trees? There are trees all over Muscle Shoals. Which area are you talking about?quote:Originally posted by David L.:
My father always said that Muscle Shoals was built on a swamp. I too have wondered why there aren't many trees there. Even in the neighborhood areas, you don't see great big trees like you do in Florence or Tuscumbia. But then there are beautiful trees on the TVA property. It is weird.

No, that's why I ask what area. There are trees where there should be, and where the areas are developed they were cut. I was just wondering where YOU thought they should be.quote:Originally posted by uwsoftball:quote:Originally posted by Jennifer:The trees and wooded areas fell victim to the "growth" of businesses and subdivisions.quote:Originally posted by StarryNight:

I admit that I am easily confused, but did your position change or something......just curious

The pitifully ugly and basically treeless corridor of Woodward Avenue is one of the worst looking strips of commercially urbanized development anywhere! It is truly a sickening sight.
Talked to my father in law. "Got him started" argggggggg. In a nutshell, MSC was mostly cotton fields and farms in the past, swampy area was around where the airport is, Henry Ford cleared a lot of the land when he was going to build a city somewhere around 2nd Street and Wilson Dam road, that's why the sidewalks are there. Woodward Ave was 2 lane dirt road with trees, houses and little stores along it at one time. Some woods, cleared for the subdivisions. Whew, lot to remember. But there are still plenty of trees around, just not where the businesses and subdivisions built up. That was why I was asking which area were they talking about that had no trees. I see them all over, but of course not down Woodward Ave.quote:Originally posted by David L.:
