Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross recognized the entrance gate to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, England. She wrote: “Completed circa 1520 and traditionally one of Canterbury’s most photographed sights. It has many architectural details, including:
- Carvings: Intricate carvings of mythical beasts, angels, heraldic shields, and flora and fauna;
- Rose: A large rose surrounded by a procession of animals;
- Color scheme: A vibrant color scheme;
- Stone and brick: A stone four center arch, two brick faced stories, and two octagonal towers;
- Restoration: Restored in 1660; and
- Statue: a statue of Jesus.
The photo came from Lucy Brady of Suwanee.
Also recognizing it were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Steve Oglivie, Rehobah, Ala.; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Tex. and George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who wrote: “Been there. Drove my wife Diane from my Army base in Germany. After our visit to Canterbury we spent the night at a fantastic B&B in the seaside town of Whitstable. Younger and sporting a beard, when we parked and walked to the B&B, one of the women there was yelling to others that Kenny Rogers was coming to stay. Getting closer, it didn’t take much to convince me that I was not Kenny. I can’t even play an instrument or sing on key. By the way, I have the exact same photo of this gate, but mine was years before, but little to nothing has changed.”

Several kiosks in Gwinnett offer Covid-19 testing
Here’s a new way to test to see if you have Covid. Gwinnett’s Department of Health has installed at nine sites around Gwinnett the “Testandgo” free Covid-19 testing machines.
Those wanting the test may register at the site, or online. Once at the site, the machine will guide users and dispense a test kit, which once completed and deposited into the machine, is picked up daily. Results are texted or emailed to people within 48 hours. The machine has instructions via a video to guide those being tested.
These testing kiosks are located at libraries in Auburn, Buford, Duluth, Five Forks, Grayson, Lawrenceville, Mountain Park and Norcross. Another is located at the Norcross Health Center, at 5030 Georgia Belle Court.
