Two joggers on Monday pass by a Japanese maple tree on Lynnview Drive downtown. The tree is on the property of resident Bill Diggins and family. "We get a lot of comments on it," Diggins said this week. The orange hue of the tree's leaves this year is a change, as their color is typically red, he said. The tree was planted about 15 years ago by former property owner and forester Greg Palmieri.
