Hair, flow it, show it
Long as God can grow, my hair
Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas, in my hair
A home for fleas (y piojos?), a hive for the buzzing bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair
By Juan Montoya
Notice that Palm Boulevard is looking a bit down-in-the-mouth and shaggy lately?
It's a good thing that we have what the Chamber of commerce Sunshine Boys call "traditional Southeast trade winds" or else none of those fronds would be trimmed and scattered all over the road.
A local businessman who passes by that route daily wonders if the city doesn't have a contract with a palm frond trimmer or perhaps has run out of money to snip off the old growth.
"The old growth on the palm trees along our city's premier scenic thoroughfare is beginning to resemble the mayor's haircut," he quipped. "Maybe we ought to have his barber come over and give them a trim."
Da Mayor, who lives on the corner of Ebony and Palm and has a business just down the road "Lola's Bakery," probably prefers to see the palms emulating his haircut, but they do look a bit shaggy to many people. And besides, as the song above says, they become " a home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees, a nest for birds (and bats)."

Need to get rid of all the palm trees, they cause too much of a mess in the streets, damage to autos in the streets, causing traffic to go around the piles of branches during windy days, and amount of trash it cause to be pick up and in the land fill. The cost to the city picking up this mess daily. Plant trees not palms.
Viejo ceboso apestoso no se bana smelly breath too
I am glad someone else is noticing that our city is filthy - the dirtiest in the RGV. I love how you compare our palm tree to the messy Mayor's hair.
Maybe someone can come up with El Corrido de DaMayor. The city blames the county or state for those ugly palm tree alongside the expressway. I guess it is because we are not the City of Palms like McAllen. We do have a bunch of "Parrot Shit" all over our cars. When is the next election? Orale, Cesar, let's start the campaigning for Deleon.
That's cause palm boulevard homeowners don't pay property taxes. They put a sign in their house that says it's historic and get exempted from property taxes. Look it up. How much property taxes is collected from that area...

It's a style originating in the African motherland called "all natural"
Sort of like your photo-shop Bob Marley look you were posting recently ? Drop dead, Diego .
Yeah! have you noticed that Cornejo-Lopez home is a historical home? Since when? There are more historical homes in the southmost area than this one, and if it is a historical home, how was it allowed to have additions done to it like la judge has? Are there no historical regulations. Check Jefferson
street where you have some really historical homes and not the Hinojosa home on Sunset. I guess the judge has some pull. No taxes.
