To Raul Rebeles, a construction worker who fell to his death from the Chicago Skyway. It's built on a column supporting the Skyway.
Day 46
A homemade memorial
May 11th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
According to the Chicago Tribune, Rebels, “Rebeles, a carpenter, died after the 35-foot-tall platform he was walking on collapsed, the lawsuit said.”
That and this page are all that come up when you goggle his name along with “skyway”
A few more mentions come up if you add after his name, in the Google search, things like “memorial,” “falls from Skyway,” etc.
