25 Years of AIDS
Castro and 18th, 25 Years of AIDSThe journey begins here at the corner of Castro and 18th Street in the heart of San Francisco's very notorious Castro District. It was here that Mike and I found a curious display, made in commemoration of 25 Years of AIDS.
Using clothespins as well as other various devices, notes to deceased loved ones were penned and fastened lovingly along strands of strings, intersperced with other elements like purple paper irises and ribbons and a large placard explaining the upcoming anniversary. It was heart-tugging, and brought me back to the days of when I gave a damn.
