Summary

[edit]
Description

Rain or shine, since 1966 people have gathered on this corner with signs and so forth. Mostly a peace vigil, tho many political views show up at times. Even in rainy weather, some folks still appear.

Around 4-5 PM Friday evenings.

I live close and have a good rain jacket. Dedication, but really it's a good social outlet for me. My motivation. I usually don't have a sign as what difference would a sound byte do with passing traffic. Maybe I should get a sign?

It counts to be there, or at least its a different use of time than shopping; for instance at Walmart. Culture defined, in part, by how we choose to use time. Conversation is a big priority in my life.

Afterwards, people often go out to eat. Tables form at Bellingham Bar and Grill as well as other places. There's also food at the vigil, sometimes at least. Bellingham's version of Food Not Bombs offers free vegan foods. Also a gathering space.

Many of the regular vigil people are around retirement age, but all ages appear. Food Not Bombs volunteers are often students, adding to the mix.
