Discoveries on the Boulevard

So, I'm a city person.

While I do know a few things about commonly cultivated flowers and shrubs, my naturalist tendencies terminate at the garden edge. I can barely tell one tree from another, and I certainly don't know anything about mushrooms.

So I have to ask...

Is it just me or do these look sorta like Morels?

Well now, THIS sure looks safe.

Also, I wonder why their plumbing permit costs more than twice the rear-demo permit?

And doesn't excavation require its own permit too...?

This is all very interesting.

2519 3rd St. North

Sigh.

Perplexing.
