   It’s hard to see on the photo of the sign but it says:

   Money Tree

   Money, thread on tree
   ____________________________________________________
   This idyllic work imagines a better world, an alternate universe, where the old adage is no longer true. – ‘money does grow on trees’

   Apparently they’ve been having some trouble with that particular sculpture. The very realistic looking $100 bills keep disappearing at night and the tree has been replenished with fresh bills a number of times since June.

   @Karen: What did I do? I left it there.

   Haven’t you heard that I’m in the pocket of developers? I don’t need money.

   All the money AND the sign are gone!! Very mysterious.

   Maybe a bad case of money tree weevil or possibly over enthusiastic harvesting of the beautiful money blossoms.

   @Jerry. Who would have felt compelled to take the sign? I took a tour of the Greenway a week or so back and was extremely pleased to see that a lot of people are now using it for their daily walk. I was a big proponent of the Greenway, but it looks so much better and creative than I thought it would when you started the process to make it a reality several years back. I wrote several articles promoting it for a Newton Highlands audience, but I think I was motivated more by the widespread support it was receiving in Upper Falls than any thought that it would turn out so much better than I could have imagined.

   I hope nobody deliberately took the sign to register disapproval of the Money Tree display. I really enjoyed the entire artistic display, but I thought the Money Tree was the best of a good lot. Other people walking the Greenway with me that day seemed to concur and it helped that there were still dollar bills attached to the limbs and branches.
