Finally, I'm in front of the WCHS parking lot. The half of Mitchell Dr in front of my house is closed off for other work, so right now would actually be a perfect time to cut it down: this side of the street is already coned off, and the school year hasn't started yet.

Here's a better view of the city tree that needs trimming and the cones blocking off this side of the street.
