Do the trees in Downtown San Jose really need sweaters??

By

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you probably already know that I am in San Jose this week for the California Association of Realtors conference. I was actually a featured speaker at the conference on Tuesday, and aside from that my mind is bursting with lots of great info and stuff to blog about over the next several days...but.......

I am staying at a hotel located two blocks from the San Jose Convention Center, where this conference is being held. The first morning on my walk from my hotel to SJCC, I noticed the strangest thing. The trees lining the streets of Downtown San Jose are wearing sweaters. WHAT!?

These clearly took some effort from someone...the sweaters had to be knitted, and then the two sides had to be sewn together on the tree. RANDOM.

Do you think it has anything to do with the Happy Hour sign?

Congrats on being a speaker - great honor - looking forward to see what else you can share about the EXPO.

This reminds me to do a blog on something unique to our city.  A whacky thing, just like sweaters on trees!  Gosh, if I can only remember to bring my camera and blog about it!  But, thanks for the unintentional reminder.

Erin ... San Jose and sweaters in the trees looks like some fun.  What was your presentation at CAR about?  Thanks.
