The legendary Joe’s Cafe on opposite Grandview Park on the corner.
Directions
Cross over first and take the next right – Graveley Street. Two blocks east and you hit the Drive once more. Now turn left and walk three blocks North enjoying a nice part of this lively street. Soon the Grandview Park will appear on your left. Central to any goings on around the Drive, this green space is permanently full of life. Hang around for a bit to enjoy the sounds and sights of a great community park. Once satiated walk diagonally through the park from the SE to the NW corner, passing Hornbeams and Maples en route. Just as you exit the park head for the space between the natural pillars of our next featured tree: The Lawson Cypress.

Lawson Cypress
Proper Name: Chamaecyparis lawsoniana
Common Name: Lawson Cypress or Port Orford cedar
Description: A columnal, tall, greeny-golden coloured evergreen tree. Branches begin at ground level and small brown cones flood the ferny (cedar-like) leaves from summer onwards.
Defining Feature: The variegated leaves of merging green and yellow shades are what give the tree its overall golden appearance in summer.
