The remaining members of the Jackson 5.
Oh, they’re professors, this explains everything. They’re also a disgrace.
” I have a nice spot in my backyard on the hill. It would look good.”
I have a nice spot in my backyard for those two brothers.

"Monument Avenue is the nation’s only grand residential boulevard with monuments of its scale surviving almost unaltered to the present day.The district is nationally significant for its architecture and as an example of city planning. A broad residential tree-lined street extending for some five miles from inner city Richmond westward into Henrico County.
The avenue takes its name from the series of monumental statues that mark its major intersections"
