WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL!

There will be a block party being held on Aug. 29th at 2300 if anyone wants to attend thats in the area. It begins at 12 noon. I didn't get the chance to see Michael's cousin this time, they said he had just left when i got there :( For those that leave cards, teddy bears, posters, etc. I was told that they are putting that stuff in the museum they are building in Gary. I love going to 2300! Long live MJ! He will FOREVER be THE KING!
 
I been there....Are you from indiana...I'm from Elkhart, Indiana....
 
:cry: 2300 Jackson Street.

I want to go there and leave something for Michael.

Thank you so much for the photos. :hug:

I would love to go there one day.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know what happens to all those flowers and teddy bears that people placed in front of the house? Will it go to the Jackson family?
 
ForeverTheKing - Thank you so much for the pictures. I was in tears looking at them. So moving to imagine that MJ grew up there. This where everything started. I wish I could go there and sit on that street and take all in. :)))))
 
It's great to know MJ's cousin takes care of the house. I wish Jackson family will maintain this house as a shrine...
