The informal foot path connecting Estes Park Apartments and Pleaseant Drive in Carrboro is a critical link for hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists like me who don't want to brave the shoulders of Estes Drive. I hadn't been there in a while due to the idiotic closure of the Merrit Crossing, but I walked through yesterday and found that the residents of the co-op housing on Crest Street (which backs up to the path) have been inspired by Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree (a book I still can't read without crying) to create "The Giving Communitree." It's a collection of little spots and works of art with books, art, and other gifts to share with anyone who wants them.
