I realize that most of my loyal readers will be busy with other things the rest of this week, including making food, eating food, wrapping gifts, unwrapping gifts, eating food, and hopefully spending a few quiet moments of fellowship around a lighted tree with friends and family.
But to keep the rest of you occupied and off the streets, I’ve devised the most devilishly difficult downtown Jackson details quiz EVER! No more Mr. Nice Guy with my too-easy contests–I’m convinced that this one will puzzle even the most proud downtowner. If you are able to correctly identify the buildings that belong to all of the following details, you will earn the coveted title, Person With Way Too Much Time On His/Her Hands.
Have fun!
Boo-hoo, that’s too hard! I’m off to Trinidad for some sun (and my brother’s wedding). Happy Holidays and Season’s Greetings, y’all!

Posted by Theodore | December 23, 2009, 2:47 pmOne down, four to go!
Posted by ELMalvaney | December 23, 2009, 10:58 pmIs the last one Lamar Life? The preceding one is a church- I’m going to guess Roman Catholic, but the name is escaping me. I know you have shown us pics of it before.
Posted by Tom Barnes | December 24, 2009, 10:11 amNope not Lamar Life–same style, different place. And yes, the fourth one is a church, but not the RC. I’m not sure I’ve ever shown a picture of it here.
Posted by ELMalvaney | December 24, 2009, 12:53 pmI think the last picture is First Baptist Church (looking into the playground).
Posted by ksb | December 27, 2009, 2:41 pmCorrect down to the last detail–congratulations! One, three and four are still unidentified.
Posted by ELMalvaney | December 27, 2009, 9:32 pmI know #3 is the old baptist church now owned by Galloway Methodist. Right?
Posted by Charlie Brenner | January 2, 2010, 9:56 amYou’re right! Glad to see not everyone has given up on this one! Only two to go–pictures #1 and #4.
Posted by ELMalvaney | January 2, 2010, 6:03 pmIS #1 AmSouth? I thought they’d removed the brise-soleil.
Posted by Tom Barnes | January 2, 2010, 7:12 pmNope, not a bank.
Posted by ELMalvaney | January 2, 2010, 10:32 pmIs no. 1 at the law school?
Posted by Carunzel | January 5, 2010, 10:13 amNope. I’m still winning :-)
