For those of you who live outside the area, University Park and Highland Park are together called Park Cities. Citizens of these fabled towns are called "
Parkies". Hence, my weekly fun feature which I call "
Parkie Pic of the Week" in which I like to highlight an unusual or spectacular feature of my neighborhood.

Now normally this is my "Friday Fun" feature. But I am posting it early this week, so enjoy:
This week's
Parkie Pic of the Week isn't a house, but a tree. I pass by this house on my way to work every day and I am crazy about the tree in their yard. It looks like an octopus with all of its drooping branches. It's just begging to be climbed. One of these days, I just might have to do it. But not on a day when I am wearing a dress. Or
stilettos.
