I remember when they were planted. Along about 1984, when Manuel's at
3rd and Congress opened (been eating there all these years!) the city decided to try to spruce up Congress Ave by planting these trees (some sort of deciduous oak). For years, the trees received little care, in keeping with the general neglect of downtown and Congress Ave in that decade. But eventually the trees recovered and grew, and the avenue started looking better overall. I think with all the new residents moving downtown, it can only get better with time.
