Here’s a bronze statue of a woman reclining on a seat in a park somewhere, but where? Bonus points: Who is she? Send your name, hometown and guess to: feedback@statehousereport.com.
Last week’s mystery, “Horrible parking job,” showed some anybody-can-use rental bikes piled on top of each other on St. Philip Street in Charleston – right next to an unused bike rack. Grrr.
Bill Segars of Hartsville noted that he thought the photo reflected badly on modern society: “The fact that strikes me about this photo is the oblivious nature of people today. They are like the mules of olden days with blinders on. They don’t look around themselves to see what’s going around them. Regardless of whether it’s a bike rack or holding the door open for someone that’s coming in or out of the same door that he/she just used. Their life is all about ME; no one else matters. Drop the bike where I finished with it, use the door and don’t think about anyone else and the list goes on. This trend is progressively getting worse. Sad days ahead.”
We agree.
Several regular sleuths correctly identified the general location, including Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Steve Willis of Lancaster; Jay Altman, John Hart and Elizabeth Jones, all of Columbia; Will Bradley of Las Vegas, Nevada; Michael Webb of Hartsville; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Barry Wingard of Florence; Frank Bouknight of Summerville; Madelyne Adams of Charleston; and Thomas Jacobsen of Sitka, Alaska.
- 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.
