MYSTERY PHOTO: A real mystery

We’ll try something different this week: a real mystery.  We’ll tell you where the sign is — it’s across from South Windermere shopping center on Folly Road on a fence in The Crescent neighborhood — but we want you to tell us about the story behind the sign.  If you don’t know, make it up! (NOTE:  We don’t know the answer and we’re looking for help in learning the truth about the jewelry theft. If you make up your answer, please let us know that it’s fiction. Have fun.) Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com.  And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.  And if you’ve got a clever mystery photo for our readers, send it to the same address (Try to stump us!)

Our previous Mystery Photo

Our most recent past mystery, “Graffiti” showed boxcar art in the S.C. Port Authority rail yard along East Bay Street in Charleston near Cooper Street.

Congratulations to several sleuths who correctly identified the location: Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant; Christel Newton of North Charleston; Rose Riordan of Pawleys Island; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; and Jay Altman of Columbia, as well as “Khriss” from Mount Pleasant.

Peel shared some interesting info about these rail cars: “If I am correct, this week’s mystery photo is a photo of a type of boxcar called a ‘Bi-level Autorack,’ used to transport automobiles, trucks and vans across the vast network of railroad tracks throughout the world. These types of rail cars are most often found at RoRo (stands for Roll-On / Roll-Off) shipping ports, like the premium RoRo shipping terminal known as the Columbus Street Terminal off the banks of the Cooper River in the Port of Charleston.”
