MYSTERY PHOTO: Top of a building

After two weeks of relatively easy mysteries, this one might be tough. So tough, in fact, that you might need a hint: It’s somewhere in South Carolina but not in the Charleston area. Send your guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

MYSTERY PHOTO: A different kind of 21 Club

The only hint you’ll get is the number 21 in this photo, but we can assure you it’s not the famous 21 Club and former speakeasy on West 52nd Street in New York City. But what and where is it? Send your guess to: editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Sept. 10 mystery was a little easier for folks because the previous one had been so hard. We again showed bold, beautiful clouds and marsh, as in the Sept. 4 mystery, but these were more recognizable as a view from the westbound lane of U.S. Highway 17 from the bridge over the Ashley River.
