The tree growing through a vacant property at Harlem and Fremont avenues in Baltimore is a clear sign that no one has lived there for a long, long time.
Its trunk and branches snaked through a window, flowers blooming over the street.
ABC2 reporter Brian Kuebler snapped the picture and tweeted it, and the photo quickly went viral, getting nearly 300 retweets and almost 400 likes. He even became a trending topic on Twitter briefly Friday afternoon.

Behind door number one. Something tragically beautiful about some vacants if that makes any sense. pic.twitter.com/S8WphL6hNW
