Jack Kerouac's Birthday -- "On The Road"

Jack Kerouac Memorial in Lowell, Massachusetts

Wikipedia has a huge write-up about Jack, who was born in Lowell 90 years ago (yesterday), and is buried in Lowell (see below). 

In the spring, I hope to take better photos, before the trees are full.

Directions to Jack's marker at Edson Cemetery, Lowell, MA.
