In Pictures: Alex Pretti Memorial On Nicollet Ave 1/31/2026

Some of the pictures I had taken this past Saturday when visiting the memorial to see what community had added since its inception. A young person there was working on using their voice to speak their grief and loss, love and support. I don't think they were much older than sixth grade if I had to guess (and I just heard them behind a portion of the crowd). I was both moved and saddened at the same time.
