Today’s Mystery Photo looks something like a park, with a city nearby. And maybe the big N and S in the photo mean something! Figure out where this photograph was made, and send your answer to elliott@brack.net, and include your hometown.
Allan Peel, San Antonio, Texas, gave detail on the previous mystery: “Today’s mystery photo is a new, 113-foot 5G wireless communications tower that was recently installed in Charleston, SC, near where Septima P. Clark Expressway merges with Interstate 26. It is not-so-affectionately being called ‘Toilet Roll Pole‘ by many in the local community who are upset about its design. It is considered to be an eyesore in what is otherwise a historic part of Charleston.
“The new tower was erected to replace a much simpler white monopole that would overheat and result in spotty 5G service in the area. Despite its odd appearance, the new design allows greater airflow and protects the tower’s components, thereby improving the reliability of the 5G service.” The photo comes from the Charleston City Paper of that city, where the photo was first printed.
Other identifiers: Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill; George Graf, Palmyra, Va; Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.;and Ruthy Paul Lachman, Norcross, who added: “These ugly towers are all over the USA.”

Here’s a well-tended and landscaped corner in Lawrenceville. It’s at the intersection of East Pike Street and Buford Drive. (Photo by Frank Sharp.)
