Today in slow news, a tree was injured. But not just any tree -- the picturesque oak featured at the end of the Oscar-nominated drama The Shawshank Redemption, as the location where Red (Morgan Freeman) uncovers money and a note from his beloved inmate buddy Andy (Tim Robbins) after 40 years of imprisonment. No word yet on whether the tree, damaged by high-speed winds and now rotted in the middle, will be cut down. It sits on private property in Mansfield-Richland County, Ohio. [Mansfield News Journal]
