Tell us where you think this grist mill is located. We suspect that many GwinnettForum readers have seen this mill. Send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.

The Mystery Photo from last edition was so difficult that not a reader responded. One reason may be that it came from George Graf of Palmyra, Va., therefore making him disqualified. The photo was one from a destination in the news recently, Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum took place this week.
