Ahhh, you found it.

I like identifying trees, though. It's fun!

How weird you posted this thread , my hub and I were at the insurance office and they had these trees which have magnificent shape and color and we wondered what they were.

It looks like a Littleleaf Linden to me. We have one. They are fairly popular now because they are disease resistant and do well in a wide zone.

Edit: And I see that Basswood and Linden are the same tree, but the Littleleaf Linden is a variety popular with homeowners and local governments. Tilia cordata

This tree looks exactly like our Bradford Pear Trees. Soft wood, prone to break in rough winds, but beautiful fall colors and gorgeous blooms (though stinky) in spring.
