The broken Historical Marker, which is used as an illegal trash dump, is emblematic of the whole problem. It's a disgrace. The garbage can be carted away, and is almost once a week. The Historical Marker is broken at the base (often hidden by the garbage). Damage like that doesn't happen overnight. It takes YEARS OF NEGLECT for metal to decay that way. <br><br>Let me also state the obvious: If this Historical marker, the E.W.F. Stirrup House, and the Mraiah Brown House were important for WHITE history, the job would have already been done.

Let me also state the obvious: If this Historical marker, the E.W.F. Stirrup House, and the Mraiah Brown House were important for WHITE history, the job would have already been done. Shame on Coconut Grove!!!

Please look at my facebook photo albums for many pictures taken on Charles Avenue.
