| Is there any members here from the Conshohocken area? I am looking for info about a memorial that is/was on Fayette St. and 2nd ave. |
| I'm a parishioner at St. Mary's and have driven past that memorial dozens of times while looking for street parking but I've never actually taken a good look at it. I'll probably be there Thursday morning so I could drop by and see what it is. What do you want to know about it? |

Lifelong resident, I moved out 5 years ago. The second avenue military memorial was “temporarily” closed for renovation. I am hopeful they follow through with the plans for improvement, but I am skeptical. I believe the Statue and marker are stored at the borough maintenance building on W7th. |

@HAUK3 with the help of some others Sergant major Justin Lehew paid a visit to the borough looking for some answers as a side trip on the 250 tribute hike. As he was told, the original monument is going to be going back. I need to follow up with the borough but I am also somewhat skeptical on this. |
