Today’s Mystery Photo scene might be known to some as a “knob” with this rounded feature on top. See if you can figure out where it is. Then send your idea to ebrack2@gmail.com. Be sure to list your town of residence.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, recognized the latest mystery: “Today’s mystery photo is of the main stairway and cascading fountain in Lillian Webb Park in historic downtown Norcross. The park is named in honor of Essie Lillian Hicks Webb (1928–2016), a lifelong resident of Norcross, and a pioneering figure in Georgia politics, who served as the first female mayor of Norcross and the first woman to chair the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners.
“The 4.2-acre park was officially opened to the public in 2009 and was created to provide a community gathering space for concerts, events, and recreation. The park features a large open meadow, a gazebo, walking trails, and an interactive splashpad for children to cool off during the hot summer months. Every July 3rd, the park hosts the “Red, White and Boom!” Independence Day Celebration event.
“There are also a couple of “hidden” features in the park. In fact, the size and scale of the park itself is rather hidden, since, as you approach the main entrance from College Street, you really do not see much of the park itself…until you reach the top of the steps and look down. That is when you see the true scale of the brick stairway, cascading fountain, splashpad, and park grounds. At the Buford Highway edge of the park is the Norcross Library.” The photo came from Molly Titus of Peachtree Corners.
Others recognizing the photo were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; Kay Montgomery, Duluth; Jim Blum, Peachtree Corners; Alexis Kelley, Norcross; Stewart Woodard, Lawrenceville; James Lee, Duluth; Virginia Klaer, Duluth; and Howard Hoffman, Berkeley Lake.
