By Drew Kann
Sept 14, 2023In southeast Atlanta, a massive tree uprooted on the corner of Broyles and Sydney streets, coming down on a playground at the Grant Park Cooperative Preschool. The roots caused the brick sidewalk to rise and break apart, and a fence was damaged by the impact. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
