“The scale of the tree is a bit of an optical illusion. It must look appropriately sized within the grandness of the skyline but also it needs to be strong, symmetrical, and able to hold the 7-foot star on top"

[David] Cowan [chief public spaces officer for the Downtown Detroit Partnership] said their organization has supported the transformation of Campus Martius Park, which now ranks as the No. 1 Public Square in the U.S. according to USA TODAY, for 20 years.

Oooh...pretty...The official lighting of the Campus Martius tree is Nov. 17.
