Time for a little more observational fun. Here are eight photographs of items to be seen mostly in Atlanta but also Cass County. Your challenge is just to see if you have seen them and can tell where they are from.

The reward is that when you do see them the next time, you’ll have a flash of recognition and remember that, yes, I’ve seen them and know what they are and where they are.

It’s fun for the photographer, too. He gets to observe more.
