Follow Up Friday: Calgary, The Treephone. The TelePine.
Funny thing: After the Ditmars Tree Twins were featured on Gothamist, whomever is responsible for all the empty “Telebeam” phone kiosks scattered around Astoria came to collect their garbage. It would seem that they were even kind enough to carefully remove lil’ Calgary here from his perch, and place him on the ground (where my timing was lucky enough to retrieve the little dude) before they removed and disposed of the phone kiosk. (I wasn’t so quick with Edmonton) This is all great! I’m sure the owner of the laundromat appreciates having his window less obscured with a garbage-collecting eyesore, and everyone tends to appreciate a less cluttered sidewalk -and man- it was just so thoughtful to not destroy the tree- but fellas, you forgot, like, all the other empty kiosks! For example- this one, just up the street. So I reinstalled Calgary in this spot. He’s been fine so far, but we’ll see if putting his picture up on the site will change all that.
