In March of 1991, a single queen palm tree was planted at 22nd and Guerrero, and a cozy neighborhood bar was given its name: Lone Palm. Thirty years later, the bar s namesake reached the end of its natural life: this weekend, the tree was cut down.
Photos of the chopped down palm began to circulate on Twitter, and Lone Palm fans reacted with shock and horror. But as it turns out, there was a good reason behind the tree s removal.
