Only two people were able to recognize the most recent Mystery Photo. Bob Foreman came in immediately, saying it was the “Bitexco Financial Tower in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam, formerly Saigon.” The photo came from Rob Keith of Peachtree Corners.
Then George Graf of Palmyra, Va. came in with more details. “Located in the historic district of Ho Chi Minh City, the Bitexco Financial Tower rises as a Beacon towards the future of Vietnam. The tower uses as its reference the Lotus flower (a symbol of Vietnam) in a mature, blossomed state to build upon Vietnam’s history. The tower is characterized by a distinctive helipad—not located on the roof as is the norm—but cantilevered out from the 52nd floor while the building continues to rise above it. Consistent with the national flower motif, the helipad and sky lounge taper off from the central area, reaching into the atmosphere as if a lotus bud in search of the sun. At Floor 49, there is an observation deck, Saigon Skydeck, open to the public daily and offering 360 degree panoramic views of Ho Chi Minh City.”
LAGNIAPPENo! This is not a Mystery Photo, but a live event
What’s this? It’s not a mystery photo, but a photograph taken by Sandy and Rick Krause of Lilburn of some of the items going into the Time Capsule that the City of Lilburn sealed recently in its new facilities. It’s not to be opened in 50 years. It was taken during and open house at the Lilburn City Hall recently.
