WITW: The Friday reveal

This week's WITW entry is the handle on Gen. Greene's sword :

WITW%20reveal%20050809.jpgSeveral people got the "who." (The good general is a minor celebrity around these parts.) It's the "where" that tripped up some folks this week. The "where" in this case is the McGee Street roundabout downtown and not the Guilford Battleground. That's the Guilford Building in the background, btw.

Three people got the "who" and the "where":

* Brian Clarke of Charlotte (formerly of Greensboro)

* Long-time WITWer C.A.R. of Greensboro

* Mark Sutter of Greensboro (he had the first correct answer)

Here's one more picture for the road:

I'm sorry for giving you two shots of the general's back side, but I can't seem to take a good shot of his face. It's never in full sun and I can't figure out how to light it. So that's why you get the rear.

Historians said it was his best side. And am I to argue with people with PhDs?

Good weekend, all.
