Selena & The USS Lexington

We visited the Selena Memorial.  We had passed by this memorial several times but never made time to stop.  It is a very nice memorial to such a super Tejano singer, whose life was cut so short.  She was only 25 when she was killed by the president of her fan club.....such a shame.  Her songs still play by Tejano radio stations.

Granite bricks pay tribute to her.  This one is her parents'.  What a terrible loss.

We head further south on Shoreline Blvd and see that the Memorial Coliseum which held many many events has been demolished.  This is all that is left of it now.
