Comments on Voicemail from Jen Graves
It's traditional for construction companies to put a tree on top of the scaffolding once it's completed. I don't know why, but I've definitely seen it before.
Wait! More clarity! Here: http://www.utdallas.edu/news/archive/2001/topoff.htm
"The “topping-off” ceremony dates back to the 8th or 9th century. In medieval times, ironworkers would celebrate the completion of a building’s frame by placing a fir tree on top of the final beam. The practice was brought to America and today often incorporates the autographing of the final beam by those involved with the construction process."
It's a construction tradition to put a tree up once the highest structural element has been put in place:

I think you all missed the point of this posting... Christopher says he is slammed with work. I never knew anyone at the Stranger ever worked.
#5 The real point of the posting is Jen Graves driving. I didn't think that was allowed for Stranger staff.
#6, She could be using Flexcar which is an acceptable option.
And in Japan they keep a tree in the top of the building when it's complete.
Kind of a small one though.
I thought topping off meant something totally different.
"slammed with work" = seeking victims for next calf fetish photo
Sadly you're all being mislead by these trolls saying some baloney about a topping off ceremony.
What the flag, the tree and the painted beam mean is that some noble hereo gave his life building those condos.
Single tear drop falling, Cue Lee Greenwood's "God Bless The U.S.A."
Jen Graves Is a fucking idiot! Its like an insecure teenage girl talking..."Oh my god a tree, how cute, um, maybe, uh we should, uh let people know!?"
