Our Feb. 22 photo, “Lots of orange,” showed a wall of orange life preservers at the entrance of Fleet Landing restaurant on Concord Street in Charleston. “The wall is paying homage to the history of the building built in 1942 by the US Navy and utilized for off loading sailors,” said Charleston resident Jim McMahan.

Our Feb. 15 photo, “A real tough one to identify,” was just as tough for us as it was many folks. We’re still not sure exactly what this old industrial building is on Greenleaf Street in the Neck area between Charleston and North Charleston, but it’s pretty clear it’s got something to do with the Kinder Morgan fuel terminal complex south of the old Navy Base.
This one might be nearly impossible to identify, but let’s see what y’all can do. Hint: It’s in Charleston County. Send your best guess to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | Jack Alterman’s new book of photographs is a smashingly awesome retrospective.
The large-format book of 204 pages includes more than 200 photos, some new, some familiar as a frayed, button-down shirt. It’s filled with portraits of people and buildings where crisp, warm light is as much of a star as the subjects.
You’ll recognize Charleston throughout, particularly in portraits of people from all walks of life. You’ll find Joe Riley, Marcus Amaker, David Rawle, Dorethea Benton Frank, Philip Simmons, Jack Bass and Nathalie Dupree. Then comes Harlan Greene, Layton McCurdy, Robert Dickson, Anthony “Tony the Peanut Man” Wright, Tommy Read and Henry Berlin. You’ll find artists Mary Whyte, Jonathan Green, John Doyle and Adrianne King Comer. These are images of strength and character with a smidge of innocence thrown in by the master photographer.
This is a photo of something outside of South Carolina once visited by many in-state residents. Just look at recent headlines and you should figure out why it is this week’s Mystery Photo. Send your best 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 Jan. 18 photo, “Empty field,” shows where a new library is supposed to be built and ready for readers by now. The old library, which continues to be used, is the cramped brick building at the right as the old Navy Hospital looms in the background.
Here is an empty urban field somewhere in Charleston County that isn’t supposed to be empty. Where is it and what is supposed to occupy this space? Send to editor@charlestoncurrents.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
