Here’s an odd sign spotted recently. Where is it and what’s the story behind it? Send us your guess – as well as your name and hometown – to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s photo, “Shoes in bronze ” showed part of a statue on the Statehouse grounds of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond. Congrats to the many readers who correctly identified it – just from the shoes: Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Julia Black of Charleston; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Karen Intram, Elizabeth Jones, Steve Yarborough, John Hart, Jean Prothro and Jay Altman, all of Columbia; Pat Keadle of Wagener; Don Clark and Bill Segars, both of Hartsville; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; and Craig White of Greenwood.
>> Send us a mystery picture. If you have a photo that you believe will stump readers, send it along (but make sure to tell us what it is because it may stump us too!) Send to: feedback@statehousereport.com and mark it as a photo submission. Thanks.
We Can Do Better, South Carolina!
RE: the Thurmond Shoes statue.
I figured it out quickly by the parade of palmetto trees below the statue. You have a lot of Palmettos it HAS to be the statehouse. Then you look for standing statues and voila’ there he is.
