Wednesday Mystery Spot

Though I thought I'd picked a "goodie" for last week's Mystery Spot, once again it was, of course, guessed! Lisele commented, "Ahhh, is it the place called BirdBrain in Depot Town?" Yep! But it was a tie: BF guessed as well at the same time by emailing me a photo, here 'tis:

Now, don't let those victories go to your head, Lisele and BF and other readers, 'cause we have a vexing one this week, yessir. Take a peek if you will and see if you can guess! Good luck!

  1. Are we looking west down Cross Street, east of River? I feel like that is the Thompson Block on the right.

  2. Erg! I wasn't fast enough. Ah well, I agree with Dan. That's the tower of "Old Main" - the Normal School building on the site now occupied by EMU's Pierce Hall - on the right center background.

  3. Was busy last night, so didn't get a chance to look till this morning, but my first instinct is that Dan's right.

  4. Ooh, three answers right off the bat! Thank you, gentlemen!

  5. Dan et al are correct. I think I actually have a photo I took from a similar angle, but it's not online, and I'm at work. So I'll point to http://www.panoramio.com/photo/27424250 for support (click the photo for a high-resolution version). Look at the side of Aubree's building (far left in that photo) and compare it to the building at center-right in the Mystery Spot photo. Although there have obviously been some changes over the years, it's clearly the same building.
