The White Street Pier merits the occasional visit and its always a pleasure.
City workers get to drive out where vehicles aren't permitted to keep the place clean.
The inland end of the pier is the Aids Memorial:

my neighbor always looks askance at my partner and myself---we are two gay males who never bother or ask anyone for anything.....yesterday I was feeling quite expansive and I told (told not asked---finally!) that it bothered me the way she looked at me. "Oh," she said, "you shouldnt worry as we have one of those in our family!" Thanks dear neighbor. This is the only time I ever wished I was a woman. I would have then broken her face like she has broken mine a thousand times. Thanks for the AIDS memorial mention, heartfelt.
I keep thinking we are past that sort of casual bigotry but every now and again one is reminded that we aren't. I don't suppose then, that every town has an AIDS Memorial. Key West does and occasionally adds some names to it. Even now.
