Here it is in "The OC". November is upon us and some (if not all) attention turns to Christmas shopping. Along those lines, we are home to several of the largest grossing dollar volume Malls in the USA.
But one of them...South Coast Plaza hurts me every year. No, not with the prices of items. It is with the delivery of their Christmas Tree.
This year, the South Coast Plaza Mall will hoist and decorate a 96 foot 60 year old white fir from Mount Shasta. Beautiful? Absolute YES! But it's criminal to kill a tree like this, then haul it 650 miles in the longest trailer truck allowed by law, just to position it at a Mall.
It will be seen by many and certainly enjoyed for it's grandeur and decorating...but they killed a beautiful tree. Maybe these are the places that should consider employing an artificial tree, assembling & re-assembling every year.
Am I being too environmentally conscious? What do Malls in your area do? Let me know your thoughts.
And thank you for making me Your Orange County Real Estate Connection.
Best regards.
