Tree and Church Battle It Out
The tree got bigger, maybe, than anyone anticipated. Now it’s so close to the building that the roots are pushing into the wall, gradually ripping off the stucco. It’s a battle – who’ll win?
Hint: the church is vacant with a for sale sign in front.

It doesn’t look like the kind of place that would have a high demand for ice, but there are three ice machines right there. So, who knows?
