Has anyone here ever seen this? I was driving down Trinity Blvd the other day and noticed a bunch of white crosses on the side of the road (it's at the intersection of Trinity and Mosier Valley Rd, between House-Anderson and Raider). At first I thought it was a roadside memorial for some extremely horrific school bus crash or something. Turns out it's a memorial site for people who have been murdered...even more creepy.

quote:
What makes the Garden of Angels different is that it memorializes people who have been murdered. It began with Amy Robinson. On February 15, 1998, she was 19, with the mental ability of a 14 yr old, riding to work on her bicycle, when she was kidnapped and killed by co-workers. Her body was dumped on the other side of Trinity Blvd, near a tower. Her grandmother, Carolyn Barker, started the garden with a cross for Amy. Others added crosses for local people and some not so local, all of them murdered
quote:
five crosses, clustered together on the front row, each with a youngster's picture, their first names - Noah, John, Mary, Luke, Paul - and their last name: Yates.
