MYSTERY PHOTO: Gold top

The only clue we’ll give you to this week’s Mystery Photo is it is not in South Carolina. So what is it and where is it? Send your guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com with “Mystery Photo” in the subject line. Please make sure to include your name and contact information.

Last issue’s mystery: The April 2 Mystery Photo may have been the best ever (so far) because it was one of three of the same thing. Last week’s photo shows the top of a “standpipe” water tower in Walterboro. But wait, there are two other similar structures in South Carolina — one in nearby Allendale and another in the Upstate in Belton (we didn’t know about the Belton one.)

Here’s a photo of a skyscape somewhere in South Carolina. Just what is it and where is it? Send your guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com with “Mystery Photo” in the subject line. Please make sure to include your name and contact information.

Last issue’s mystery
Several readers correctly identified the ship in the March 26 as the newly-christened USS Ralph Johnson, named for a local Marine hero who died in Vietnam. But the question wasn’t to name the ship, but to identify who named the ship.

Where are these impressive twin towers located in South Carolina? Send your guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com with “Mystery Photo” in the subject line. Please make sure to include your name and contact information.

Last issue’s mystery: The Jan. 29 mystery, shown at right, was a picture from 1979 of the railroad station in Branchville, S.C.

Hats off to those who correctly identified the image: George Graf of Palmyra, Va., Tom Tindall and Mary Honey Coan, both of Edisto Island; Paul Hedden of James Island; and Mary Bush Bryan of Hampton, S.C. (If there were others, we apologize for not identifying you, but some of our inbound emails over the last week didn’t get to us.)
