History

Looking east from what is today the intersection of Washington and Memorial Blvd, a lot of things look the same today as they did in 1983, except the WWI memorial is in the wrong place. Today the memorial rests serenely as the centerpiece of Memorial Park just a few hundred feet away, but for decades it was the centerpiece of a traffic circle nicknamed “suicide circle.”
