The Shoe Tree Falls: Frisbee players somehow find a way to go on

Balboa Park has lost a "beloved" landmark, the Shoe Tree. The shoe tree was part of the 19 hole Frisbee golf course created at the park and was apparently an "integral part of the design on Hole 2." Years ago the city had planned to tear down the tree when the Frisbee players pointed out there were shoes growing all over the branches, the shoes multiplied, took over and all of a sudden the tree enters landmark territory (ooo, look at that tree full of shoes, DUCK! That's pretty nifty, DUCK. Man there are a lot of Frisbees flying around these parts, OUCH!) There it was all covered in shoes and providing an interesting twist to Hole 2 when the wind/rain storm of last week caused it to fall (or maybe, just maybe, the weight of said landmark shoes).

A victim of it's own success? Either way, Hole 2 will never be the same.
