It’s a bit surreal to be right near the place where Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain committed suicide 16 years ago. Courtney Love tore down the shed where it happened, but the house is still there, and there is a public park right next to it with a bench. There are many messages on the bench, including flowers and candles. I even found a note thanking Kurt for his influence.
Growing up, I heard the stories about Janis, Jim and Jimmi, and it seems to me that people feel the same way about Kurt. In the early 90s, Nirvana was a band like no other. For me, coming to Seattle and seeing this place was well worth it.
