Here's a bit better view. Don't forget: looks are deceiving!
Thanks to my sweet husband for taking care of that! Now with what shall I replace it?
UPDATE: I did some research and after getting a ton of results mentioning bradford pears and thinking we had cut down the wrong tree -- although I knew that I checked it myself last spring to see if the smell was coming from that particular one -- I found it! It's a Chinese Chestnut. You can check it out here -- specifically the part labeled "backyard considerations." Even my grandmother new exactly what I was talking about when I told her about the tree's smell. Before I even said it out loud, she said it for me! I'm telling you; it's bad.

Dogwoods are my favorite in spring. You can mix a few white and pink together. They take a while to grow but are worth the wait.
LOL! As soon as I read this I knew it must be a gingko tree! They are awful! And when I googled gingko to be sure, this article popped up:
