No, this isn’t Piedmont Park in downtown Atlanta. Yet the tall building might give you a clue. Think differently, and you might come up with the answer to this week’s Mystery Photo. Send your ideas to elliott@brack.net, and be sure to tell us where you live.
We thought the remoteness of Romania might catch some readers by surprise. But three people recognized last edition’s Mystery Photo immediately, which was sent in by Frank Studer of Simpsonville, S.C. Ruthy Lachman Paul of Norcross wrote: “The art nouveau Casino at Constanta, Romania. I visited this place with my Mom who was born in Romania.”
Karen Burnette Garner of Dacula wrote: “The first thing I noticed was the Art Nouveau style architecture and that the building appears somewhat run down and dilapidated, with broken glass and boarded up windows. Only in Eastern Europe would a building like this be allowed to deteriorate. The Constanta Casino, in Constanta, Romania, is on the edge of the Black Sea. It was built at the turn of the last century, but it has been abandoned for many years.” Another person recognizing the photo was Bob Foreman of Grayson.
