odd news
"Tree of life" violates city blight laws
MONROE, Mich. — It was a symbol of philanthropy to some, used to hang donations of clothing and toys for the needy, but the city has put an end to the "tree of life."
Anthony and Connie Johnson started displaying items on the tree near their home last summer. People were invited to stop and choose the items they needed.
But inspectors said the tree violates city blight laws. They said residents can only hang clothes on clothes lines. Neighbors also complained about the increase of traffic in the area.
Associated Press
The couple still collects donations and gives them to local churches.
