CLUE: It’s artistic, the entrance to a stairwell. The blue painting on the wall look much like stitches on a baseball, but don’t let this throw you off. Can you figure out where this is? Send us your idea to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to include your hometown.
First in identifying last week’s photo was Philomena Robertson, now living in Flowery Branch. She said: “It’s Central Park in New York, The Mall, a quadruple row of American elms, and known as Central Park’s most important horticultural feature, and one of the largest and last remaining stands of American Elm trees in North America. Originally called the Promenade, the Mall was the place to stroll, wearing one’s Sunday best. The southern end of the Mall is known as Literary Walk. The statue of Christopher Columbus is the only one out of the five statues that does not depict a prominent writer – the other four statues — writers Fitz-Greene Halleck, Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and William Shakespeare.”
The photograph came from Susan McBurney of Sugar Hill. Michael Green of Milton wrote: “Pictured in the photograph is The Mall and Literary Walk in Central Park, New York City. The double row of American Elms is one of the largest groups of American Elms in the United States.”
Bob Foreman of Grayson said: “Looks like Central Park in New York City.” And Channing Haskell added: “Today’s picture looks like the Mall in Central Park.”
