The shoe tree has been cut down and properly buried. I'm sure that there will be a replacement in time.
[Sonia, 11/03/2017]The shoe tree was cut down on October 10, 2017.
[Denise Clark, 11/03/2017]The highway dept. cut down the tree, it said, because most of the tree was dead, and officials were fearful that it might collapse and hurt someone. The shoes were saved, briefly, in case anyone wanted to return and pick them up.
