Pleasant Mt. Pleasant
Due to a scheduling error, I found myself killing time on the streets of Mt. Pleasant on Saturday morning. At Mt. Pleasant and Park, I found this interesting use for an old call box:
It's a diorama of Civil War soldiers being brought from the battlefield to temporary hospitals in the neighborhood. Below is a panel explaining the scene and the larger project, in which boxes all over the neighborhood hold little vignettes about the neighborhood at various times in its history.
How clever!

Wat to come see me, asshole.
Did you catch the Mariachi singer at the corner of Mt. Pleasant and Kilbourne.
There is another sculpture showing folks getting on the trolley (the circle in Mt Pleasant used to be the terminus for the 16th st trolley)
