We're continuously intrigued by what we find between the sidewalk and the street in Mexico City. There could be a wild patch of roses, a carefully manicured zen-garden, or a jungly mess. Here are some examples:
This is a popular look.
Not sure what the white paint does, but it looks like the tree was sculpted with plaster on this pedestal.
This was from our trip to the business district,
Santa Fe.
Corn on the sidewalk. We also have avocado trees on our block. I wonder who's gonna harvest the goods...
These rubber trees have bulky and shallow roots that tend to bust up the sidewalks around here. We've noticed that the city has developed a method to try and contain the chaos. They build a concrete box around the base of a young tree, and the roots grow to fill the box and eventually crack it open. They remove the concrete chunks, and what remains is a controlled cube-root-unit. At least that's our theory.
