Last week’s mystery, “Looking up,” is one that should make people in Charleston kick themselves.  Sure, it’s an odd viewpoint … but it’s something people have been watching for months — part of the new Sergeant Jasper — now called The Jasper — on the lower end of Broad Street near the Coast Guard station.

Our previous Mystery Photo: Last week’s mystery, “Few clues to this stumper,” got three answers, only two of which were correct.  The two sleuths, Justin White of James Island and Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, came up with the answer in two different ways. White said recognized the location, which was between 1572 and 1574  E. Ashley Ave  on Folly Beach “because my boat  hit oyster shells there at low tide.”
