Tree Box Memorial in Mt. Pleasant
DSCN1514, originally uploaded by Prince of Petworth.
A friend of mine had been telling me about a “grave marker” in Mt. Pleasant for a couple of weeks but I was finally able to check it out on Sunday. It is located on the 1700 block of Kilbourne Street, NW. I was able to speak to some neighbors who said that it was just a memorial. It is very small and very easy to walk by without noticing it. I think it is a touching tribute, though definitely the first memorial like this I’ve ever seen on a residential street.

Scarily, frighteningly, dreadfully, depressingly dark. NAGD (not a good deal).

Visit Rehoboth… markers like this on all the sidewalks
Don’t leave us hanging POP. Please do share the rest of the story on the marker.
Isn’t there another (similar) marker on the same street?
I remember hearing stories about one of these markers, but because it relates to a specific disease I don’t want to post it.
because I might be wrong.
MPinDC, there is another one close by. I’ve always wondered what the story was behind them.
There are 3 markers along that stretch of Kilbourne Street. They’ve been there for years, though they are often not visible when grass grows over them. I was told by a longtime resident of the street that they are memorials, put there by a former resident of the street, of friends who died of AIDS.
