Here’s a tidy building somewhere in South Carolina sent in by a long-time reader and photo sleuth. What is this place. Where was this photo taken? Send us your guess as well as your name and hometown to feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s mystery photo, “Big smile,” showed a giant Buddha that was at a North Myrtle Beach putt-putt course in the 1980s.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, writes that the statue “was once a central feature of Golden Dragon Golf miniature golf course in the mid-1980s in North Myrtle Beach. Originally located at 4205 Highway 17 South, this particular attraction is now defunct, although remnants of it were rebuilt to form the Hawaiian Village Mini-Golf course that is now located at the same location.”
Others who correctly identified the smiling Buddah were: Elizabeth Jones and Jay Altman, both of Columbia; David Lupo of Mount Pleasant; Pat Keadle of Wagener; Bill Segars and Don Clark, both of Hartsville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Frank Bouknight of Summerville.
- 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!
