As part of the Oak Lawn entertainment district beautification project, markers have been installed at either end of the Cedar Springs strip.
One marker was installed several weeks ago at the corner of Cedar Springs Road and Wycliff Avenue in front of Kroger. Another was put in place on Oak Lawn Avenue on Friday.
The recently installed marker is set on the center median between the Oak Lawn monument and The Centrum. The words “Oak Lawn” are set on top of rainbow-colored pillars.
The rainbow includes the recent update to the Pride flag that adds black and brown to the six traditional colors. The two new colors embrace LGBTQ people of color as vital members of the community.
