COMMENT
A few weeks ago a tree was cut down on the turnaround by the Octagon. The triangle was demolished and the seats were replaced by this large sign for the OCTAGON. Though the intention is good, adding the “888” on top of the sign is a bit much. Just hope the 8’s do not spin around.
The tree and seating area are gone now..
