A Vance Lauderdale Mystery

Now and then, I’ll post photos of objects in Memphis, just to see if you know where they are, or what they are. Here’s the first mystery photo. Recognize it?

Over the years, I’ve compiled an impressive collection of photographs — some of them taken by me, some of them contributed by others, some of them loaned to me by the nice folks at various libraries.

So for 2015, every now and then, when the mood strikes me, I’ll post some details from these photos, just to see if you’ve been paying attention. The challenge is a simple one: Just tell me WHAT it is, and WHERE it is.

For this one, I’ll give you a hint: It’s in a very public place, and thousands of people pass by it every day, probably without noticing it too much.

And by the way, there’s no prize for “winning” this contest. Why does everything have to be about money? Just play along for the sheer joy of playing.
