Ian spotted this giant tree lumbering through downtown today. On its way to Faneuil Hall Marketplace.

You probably mean Nova Scotia
You probably mean Nova Scotia.
actually...
the trees in Nova Scotia are loaded buried (like their people) head first..must be an acadian thing...los arboles Quebecois, on the other hand, usually arrive trunk/feet first..you can look it up ;-)
It's worth knowing the back story
The tree is a present to us, in gratitude for the people of Boston having, nearly 100 years ago, done the right thing for a neighbor in need, in a big way.

wrong tree?
from the Faneuil Hall Market Place marketing folks: "The tree is from Long Island, NY I am pretty sure the company is located in upstate NY. " does LI have trees this big?
I believe the Nova Scotia tree goes up at the pru?
still a good story though

Faneuil Hall Tree....
The word on NECN tonight is that this tree is the Faneuil Hall Christmas tree.....
Considering it's not even

Would have come above ground in the North End, then turned around.
