Letter to the Editor: Ode to Tanner Street

A poem from Wendy Kates of Stardust Memories.

To the Editor:

ODE TO TANNER ST.

Not an ordinary street In extraordinary times We are 3 Historic blocks To stroll and shop and dine

We have charm & class & spirit

After living through the worst with the cherry tree

and tulips We'll forget last summer's curse  

So we connect the big guys On Haddon or Kings you'll park Cause Tanner got the kiosks  And they've left us in the dark  

We'll be bringing light to Tanner and Holidays filled with cheer cause the lamp posts due December won't be in till late next year

It started with a tree the borough wanted down and with the will to save it the fight involved the town

And so the tree named hope will bloom again this spring and lure the lovely people from Haddon and from Kings
