Nearly 50 students and some passersby chalked the sidewalk in front of downtown market Johnny Gibson's with Valentine wishes during #ChalkItUpForLove today — a tribute for the niece of Gibson's co-owner Christie Cisek.
Julie Floyd, 26, of Napa, CA. was killed in an auto accident two years ago. The family started #chalkitup4love events and plans to make this an annual event. They have received messages from around the world.
