Death Of A Magnolia
Personal memory by Justin Cobb
2015 • Atlanta, GA, USA
On special occasions, me, my brother, and my mom would go to the movies and while the drive there we could see an abundant amount of magnolia trees for a good mile; that is until we saw a coming soon sign that said "BRAND NEW LUXURIOUS CONDOS COMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE! Just a few months prior to the sign, all the magnolia trees were stripped down. I thought at least they would keep some of it but instead they decided to plant about 5 new baby trees. I was so disappointed and now every time I go to the movies, I have to just relive a memory.
