There are at least mighty obvious clues in this hazy nighttime scene from some city some where as this edition’s Mystery Photo. Can you figure this out? If so, send in your thoughts to elliott@brack.net and be sure to include your hometown.
There were three eagle eyes who determined just where that recent Mystery Photo was taken. Jim Savadelis of Duluth came in first, saying: “My guess is that picture was taken inside the Guinness Storehouse brewery in Dublin, Ireland.” Then Rob Keith of Peachtree Corners followed, with: “It looks a lot like the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.” Both were right. The photo was taken on an IPhone by the editor.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va.: followed, saying the photo was “a very difficult one.” He gave additional information on the photo: “Located in the heart of the legendary St. James’s Gate Brewery in Dublin, this production site has been home to the Guinness Brewery since 1759, when Arthur Guinness signed a lease for 9,000 years. The Guinness Storehouse building dates back to 1904 and is built in the style of the Chicago School of Architecture. Ireland’s number one International Visitor Attraction unfolds its tale across seven floors shaped around a giant pint, which, if filled would contain 14.3 million pints of Guinness. The highlight for many visitors is the top-floor Gravity Bar, symbolically the ‘Head of the Pint”, where visitors can enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of Dublin city – views that are all the better with a complimentary pint in hand.”
LAGNIAPPEArea DAR chapters greet state regent with tea
The Georgia state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution visited the area chapters recently, and they greeted her with a tea at the Johns Creek Methodist Church. The Regent, Joyce Ball Patton, is of Lake Spivey. Clockwise at the head table were Suwanee Creek Chapter Chaplain Sandra Tomey; District Director Bonnie Lashley; State Regent Joyce Ball Patton; Suwanee Creek Regent Catherine Hyer; Chestatee River Chapter Regent Nancy Tims; Philadelphia Winn Chapter Regent Kitty Watters; and William Day Chapter Regent Virginia Harrell.
