has gloss | eng: West Hollywood Memorial Walk (Memorial Walk) is a memorial and landmark in West Hollywood, California, along the sidewalks of Santa Monica Boulevard between Fairfax Avenue and Doheny Drive, at the eastern border of the City of Beverly Hills. Bronze plaques engraved with the names of those who died from HIV/AIDS are embedded in the sidewalk as a tribute. The Memorial Walk was jointly developed by the California-based non-profit organization, Aid For AIDS, and the City of West Hollywood. Funds from the purchase of plaques support Aid For AIDS programs to assist impoverished people in Los Angeles County living with HIV/AIDS. Initiated in the early 1990s as The West Hollywood Palms Project, the landmark was renamed The West Hollywood Memorial Walk, and, in 2003, a keystone was installed by The City of West Hollywood at the northwest triangle at Santa Monica Boulevard and Crescent Heights Boulevard. |
