Christmas tree lots...where are they?

I worked at Woodland a few Christmases ago, and would never even think of going to the tree lot on 41st St. From what I understand, they just order trees from up North and ship them down here...

So pmcalk is right--local chop is better than long-distance shop.

When I was a kid we use to go to northern Michigan to chop down our own tree, they had alot of tree farms around where our cottage was on Lake Huron outside of Port Sanilac, Michigan- but I don't see the big difference in chop your own trees  as to a tree lot in a city. The trees don't last any longer and a city lot is cheaper and less hassle. Chopping your own tree can be more exciting if you do it for a family trip and for the kids like it- but there is no advantages of chop your own trees over a corner lot IMO. They also have good Christmas trees on e-bay fake and real trees.[}:)]

I don't remember our family ever having a real tree. Always artificial. I carry on the tradition with my aluminum tree.
