Michael Jackson fans and curious sightseers still are beating a path to his boyhood home in Gary, Ind., more than three weeks after his death on June 25.

A memorial of stuffed animals, flowers and photos of Jackson provide a backdrop for fans who wanted to be filmed or photographed in front of the house where the King of Pop, his siblings and their parents lived until 1969. Five vendor booths outside the home offer Jackson T-shirts, DVDs, CDs, posters, buttons and other memorabilia.

Posts outside the house are scribbled with messages from fans, and a banner taped to the home says, "We miss you MJ."
