Now, my frame with it is on some curb. - AP http://www.proctorformayor.com I was in the Goth scene/lifestyle/whatever it is since I was in my late teens and came out here from Philly.

Boxes 3 for a $1.00 down from $3.99 each. Albums 3 for $10.00 down from $12.00 each) Our photos went from lunch size paper bags to cool boxes and albums. In the process, we decided to get ride of many. Most of the discards were out of focus, or otherwise bad shots taken with pre digital cameras. But a number were photos were of former clients I had from when I was a social worker with homeless kids. I remembered the names of a few of the kids, but most were just nameless faces. I have these discards in a box out in a storage shed as I try to decide what to do with them. Can't put them in the trash, hell these kids (now adults, if they are still alive) were already treated like garbage once, I can't do that to them again.

Some passerby must have picked it up and put it on the curb. (Clearly that passerby wasn't me - I respect the symbolism of leaving your "Friends Forever" frame in the street to be run over!) If the area is a memorial, it's commemorated with rusty garbage, empty pizza boxes, and the smell of cat urine. @dc_don: Actually earlier in the day it was in the middle of the street, not propped up against the lamppost.

So many memories. I'm bummed you didn't call and tell me you were moving on. I haven't brought myself to visit the new, bigger digs yet, but I hopefully will soon so we can reconnect.

It's in the middle of the street in front of a vacant house, the tenants moved out at the end of June. The photo was part of the assorted items left behind at the curb. I've lived on the street this was found on for almost a decade and there have been no traffic fatalities on the block in that time. I don’t think so.

I dunno on the West coast but out East here we see a lot of roadside memorials, particularly where there have been car accidents.
