The art project Before I Die started in New Orleans but has made its way around the country and now 14th Street has its very own spot for the project. The idea is simple: you to write out what you want to do before you die in colorful chalk and then take in the poignancy of it all. The board was full by yesterday afternoon so people started writing in the margins and empty spaces, but the very ephemeralness of the project means spaces open up as the chalk dust blows away so keep stopping by to see what new contributions have been made.
