The elm tree on Hicks Street will live another day… for now. Brownstoner reports that the 145 Hicks (Mansion House) coop board meeting last night was held in the basement to avoid the general public from attending. "Tensions ran high" according to reports but the coop board did agree to further investigate tree-saving options while not rescinding its vote to chop. Mansion House attorneys were also reportedly on hand to discuss the legal issues surrounding saving the American elm.
