Artist Noval Noir painted a giant portrait of Renee Good just steps away from her vigil where the community is out grieving.
“Thank you, art can save us” I overheard someone tell her as they walked by. It was really beautiful to see the mix of people out on 34th & Portland. Some sweet Somali ladies where walking around with a big tub of sambusas to hand out, people had set up snacks and water, I met a couple guys breaking down ice(!) on the sidewalk entrances with a “service for Renee” sign. Little kids with their parents would walk up and drop flowers on the memorial site. People praying, crying, hugging. It’s a good reminder that our community is made up of good people who still actually care about each other.
