Rose Plaza Landscaping Friday, January 19, 2007

Workers from de Block Landscaping Services plant trees and shrubs at the Rose Plaza apartment building in NW Portland on Jan. 19, 2007, about two weeks after they removed the old landscaping. Italian Cypress trees and nandina replaced the yews that were intruding on the sidewalk. The seven-storey building was repainted brown and gold last fall, and the lobby was remodeled a year earlier.

[In an unrelated story, my rent & utilities charge goes up by $50 per month in February. Thankfully, that will be offset by a $0.13 decrease in my cable bill.]
