On returning home tonight we discovered this wonderful memorial to Michael Jackson in our neighborhood's special place. It may appear to be a traffic circle, but it is where we acknowledge the holidays, come together to ring in the new year, and now mourn an artist who we watched grow up, for some of us, right along with us - he was only ten years older than I am. When my son and I walked down to take pictures we saw that people had written their favorite song titles around the base of the circle. The circle above is a record album and there are candles below. It was a very creative, interactive memorial. Good job traffic circle fairies.
