A Stone in the Pavement



I'm sure each neighborhood has a few elements surrounded in mystery.

In order to make my blog a bit more interesting, I thought I'd walk around the neighborhood taking photos of this and that to illustrate my thoughts and others' stories. I wanted to take a few photos of the historical marker that indicates the entrance to what was once Camp William Penn, so I walked down Sycamore Avenue between Cheltenham Avenue and Willow Avenue looking for photo opportunities.

After taking a few photos, I noticed this marble stone in the pavement. I'm not sure that I ever noticed it before and even what made me pay attention to it at all. The stone looks like a little memorial placed in the cement perhaps even a century ago. I hope someone in the neighbohood has some background information about it. We shall see.

Have you recently noticed things in your neighborhood that you may have missed before?
