The Mystery Photo above might be one of the hardest we’ve ever published. You might know where it is, but what are these folks doing? 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 Oct. 15 mystery, a pastoral scene, proved to be a little harder than recent photos. It showed the Fran Hanson Visitor Center at the S.C. Botanical Gardens on the l Clemson University campus
This could be a pastoral scene from jolly old England … but it’s not. It’s in South Carolina, but where? [Hint: It’s pretty far from the Lowcountry.] 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 Oct. 8 mystery, a screaming eagle, is Winthrop University’s mascot … and is portrayed prominently in bronze on the university’s Rock Hill campus.
This might not be a good bird to encounter at any time. But what — and where — is it? Hint: It’s in South Carolina, not not a leisurely drive from Charleston. 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: r Oct. 1 mystery proved to be tough. It wasn’t the tops of buildings along Colonial Lake or the Battery in Charleston. But it did show the top of buildings along King Street at the corner of Society Street.
At first glance, this might seem easy to many, but where actually was the photo taken? 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. 24 mystery looked like the top of the Francis Marion Hotel to some, but it was actually the top of the Francis Marion’s former sister, the Westin Poinsett Hotel in Greenville.
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.
Our previous Mystery Photo: Our Sept. 17 mystery showed a different kind of 21 Club located at 21 Magazine Street in Charleston – site of the Old City Jail.
Staff reports | Electrical power started popping off early Saturday as Hurricane Florence lingered, dumping rain throughout eastern North Carolina, the Grand Strand and Pee Dee. More than a million reportedly lost power in North Carolina. In South Carolina in Santee Cooper’s retail service area, more than 50,000 customers lost power in the storm.
But the utility’s crews, ready for days to jump into action, quickly got to work to restore service to homes and 21 transmission delivery points, most of which were in the North Myrtle Beach-Little River region, according to spokesman Mollie Gore.
Crews, who battled foul weather and wind for hours, were able to turn on the lights to 48,000 customers by Sunday afternoon – a huge effort after a huge storm.
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.
Here’s another marsh scene in Charleston County, but where exactly is it? (It’s not a different view of last week’s mystery but there’s a pretty strong likelihood that thousands of commuters see it every day.} This one is tough, but we hope it’s not as tough as last week’s photo. (We took the photo because we liked the clouds.) Send […]
