I am not sure how much this has specifically to do with Oregon Hill (unless you consider the homeless who actually live and pass through the neighborhood), but considering the recent debate over the homeless in Monroe Park, I think it is worth relating.

Tuesday is National Homeless Persons Memorial Day.

Homeward and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown will be holding a National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Candle Vigil to recognize those who have passed away while homeless on the longest night of the year. Click here for the Facebook page for this local observance.
