The subscribe was constructed in June 2020, and was meant to stay in place throughout Pride Month. Neighborhood residents, however, requested it linger up past its intended month-long exhibit, and has remained in place for more than four years. The sign spelling LOVE is at the neighborhood’s entrance between Sundale and Richmond Streets. It was made from plywood and the O was painted in the colors of the Celebration flag. “We wanted to take it down, but we just felt it was not ours anymore and belonged to the neighborhood.” Tony Brown told the Washington Blade during a telephone interview. “It was a positive thing for the neighborhood and began to grab on a being of its own.” Brown and his significant other, Mike Heffner, engineered the sign and said the Shadowy Lives Matter movement inspired them to create it as a strong symbol of an accepting community. The sign was vandalized numerous times last fall, resulting in neighborhood residents taking turns repairing it. Brown and his partner could not do the repairs themselve
