The landmark that shouldn't

I'm all in favor of removing palm trees. They tend to be cute at first, but then their negative qualities take over as they mature: invasive, no shade, few ecological services. So when I see someone cutting down a palm, I'm usually all in favor. But please finish the job!

Ah!  Home Sweet Home...with a 5' stump in the front yard.

The stump has been there so long that locals use it as a landmark, "Just turn left at the big old palm stump..." since it's on a prominent corner.  Don't the home owners feel at least a little embarrassed?  In their favor, they apparently they aren't part of the Green Lawn is Good Club.  Don't Do This!
