As I noted in previos posts, the garbage dump at 111th Street and LaGrange Road was in operation until the early 1970s.
That's a cottonwood tree in the center, an important species, because it thrives in disturbed soil, making it easier for Midwestern forest mainstays such Oaks and Hickories to get established.
