Well, it’s been a while since our fabulously successful Jackson Details mini-contest, where MissPresers showed off their intimate knowledge of downtown Jackson and its architectural details. So, since it’s Spring (finally) (I think) and y’all would probably rather be outside anyway, let’s fire up a new contest.
As you may recall, I myself won the title of Person With Too Much Time on His/Her Hands in the last Jackson Details, after only 3 of the 5 photos were correctly identified. I know you were all very embarrassed that I had to finally give the answers, and you’ve all been looking for a re-match, so here it is. And to make the contest more lucrative, the new title bestowed on the winner will be “Most Observant Preservationist.” Name the buildings that these details belong to, and you could win it all!

So we have to be observant enough to know what he missed?

This time I was too easy on y’all. I’m such a pushover.
