Yesterday’s Name This Place finale brought such a flurry of activity and point-getting that as I began writing this post, I still wasn’t quite sure who the winner was. Congratulations to several new contestants who entered the ring and grabbed points from the front-runners. It all came down to the last post, but Victoria Moon Conway emerged as our latest Mississippi Preservationist Extraordinaire, racking up 16 points to second-place Suzassippi’s 13. Congratulations, Victoria, take a bow and feel free to give a speech!
Meanwhile, I’m happy because for the first time I was able to stump the MissPres universe with Thursday’s second post, and even though Thomas Rosell finally figured it out, he missed the strict 24-hour deadline in which to identify the building, so per The Rules, I get four points. Hooray for me!
Final Standings:
Victoria Moon Conway: 16
Suzassippi: 13
Tom Barnes: 5
ELMalvaney: 4
crpiii: 3
Carunzel: 3
Jack Elliott: 2
Sam Middleton: 2

Sorry I’m late responding, we have been ripping out our bathroom to do some repairs. Seriously, this is such an honor! There was some good competition and I’m humbled that I was the one to get the title. I’m just really passionate about history and preservation. These posts make me want to road trip. I’m beaming over here, thank you!
