Where Is It?

Mystery Photo Contest Proved Suprising This Week

More than 60 readers are able to identify the location.

Once again, my readers have surprised me. I thought that by providing virtually no lettering, this week's Mystery Photo might prove to be a challenge. But apparently readers easily recognized, in the words of one reader, "the gaudy, awful colors" of the wall outside Planet Fitness, on Route 38. Congratulations to the more than 60 readers who had the right answer this week and a special thank you to Judy Viola, whose name was selected from among those correct guessers to win a Patch T-Shirt! If you are new to the "Where is it?" Mystery Photo game, click here to test your skills on past photos.

Where Is It?

Mystery Photo Proved To Be 'Too Easy' This Week

More than 40 readers correctly identified the location.

"Too easy." That's how one reader described this week's "Where Is Contest?" With 43 correct responses, it appears she was right. So if the next one is brutally hard, you know who to blame. Not everyone got it right, however. The best guess of the week came from the reader who guessed the "Royal Oak Music Hall" in a town in Michigan. Good to know the appeal of Patch is spreading. But congratulations to everyone who knew that the mystery photo was the sign for the Room To Grow Pre-school off Route 38. And a special congratulations to Denise Kratman, whose name was selected from among the correct guessers to receive a sensational, stylish Patch tee-shirt!
