No Memorial today. Large truck ("Art Moving") blocking the entry. A few people--singletons and couples--walk up with cameras at the ready, disappointed. Sunny and cold. Sad.

At one point, Elle said: why not photograph some of the local places Heath frequented and were mentioned during the New York Daily News article? (In SoHo, Heath Ledger was scruffy loner, January 24, 2008)

So I did.
"I didn't know he was an actor," said Camile Angelo, the host at the Grotta Azzurra Ristorante at Mulberry and Broome Sts., where Ledger often ate breakfast. "He was always the first customer. He was always here alone."
"I told him to stop text messaging because his steak and eggs were getting cold," Angelo said. "He smiled."

(421 Broome is between Crosby and Lafayette, on the South side of the street. Grotta Azzurra is also on the South side of Broome, just a couple of blocks East.)
More photos from other places mentioned in the article and other points of interest from the area next time.

Hey {{{John}}}! Thanks for these fantastic images and reports from Heath's neighborhood. They're really interesting to see/ hear about.
Do you think the memorial will re-generate yet again? Or do you think that gesture is sort of over? Maybe if you go back there again in the coming days you could leave some flowers or something and see if that sparks a new memorial with other folks contributing. Just a thought.
Thanks again for all your efforts in reporting about this.

Hello, Amanda!
Thank you so much. I definitely WILL be checking in to see what transpires. I've been leary about trying to create--or "re"-create-- anything "artificial." The original offerings were so good, weren't they? Mostly because they were so heartfelt, so real. I've just been attempting to report.
Well, we shall see.
Especially as the funeral in Perth is still to be in the very near future--
Thanks also, Pete!--the video is amazing, isn't it? The Oscars couldn't do better, and that's a fact--I hope people go to EnnisJack.com and let them know--well, say we are proud.
