Tuesday's answer:
For the first time my bold prediction was right!
Yesterday I was able to look into the future and accurately divine the way our picture would be received by the players. Well most of you anyway!
This was a very difficult one and its visual clues had to be studied in order to figure it out. Like on Friday, it's internet search capabilities were slight so we were really looking at something that needed someone who was intimately familiar.
Lets see what people did guess yesterday...
Tracey McMillan Rosato was first and put up "Horseshoe?", Tracey has had the answer to the days puzzle in the past but this time her guess was a bit off track. Lets see if you can bounce back today Tracey.
Our second and final player was Mark (Eagle eye) Beyerly who looked very closely at the picture and was able to figure out Renzo's very difficult visual clues and pointed everyone in the right direction when he posted "Hmm. Tough one. Looks like either an antiques shop or consignment shop. Which one is the question?"
His answer made me a bit nervous as I had seen this approach by him before... He has seemingly figured it out, or at least he has the scent and then later in the day he comes back and finishes the job. We sat back and waited, Does he know this one? Will he be back to stomp on my prediction about how hard this would be? Will someone else step in and finish the job?
It was not meant to be and sometime after dinner last night we went back to it with a clue to see if someone would finally nail it down but no one was able to figure it out.
Yesterdays answer? Well, as Mark correctly guessed, it was an antique shop, the only question is which one?
It is a little shop on the Post road almost into Blackrock called "Our Place 99 Antiques" or "Our Place Antiques", both work and are each used interchangably. Tough one but what a great picture as evidenced by all of the "likes" the picture got.
Our game will finally end on Labor Day weekend and we still have too many places to get to. Our phone has rung many times with suggestions and requests which we will do our best to get to but I am sad to say that this town and its diversity will not allow us to get to everyone so if you don't see yours we apologize.
Lets see who has the fastest fingers today. I think this one will get solved resaonably quickly today.
