Mystery Photo #2
Hint1: It is NOT at the old City Hall / Fire Station. Hint2: It is a recent photo of part of the back of a downtown building built in 1916 and damaged by a 1940 tornado. Hint3: You can see it from Broadway or the Education Services Center (ESC) parking lot. |

The location for mystery photo #2 is in the alley in the block east of old City Hall. It shows the remains of the opera house stage that was destoyed by a tornado in 1940. Woody Wilson's welding shop was in the remaining portion of the opera house for many years. The pink windows were painted in the Diane Woodruff era in the 1980s. This early day Collinsville photo was taken inside the Brown Opera House from that old stage. |

Collinsville
Mystery Photo #1
|
Doug Wakefield, Susan Catlett and Karen White were first to email this location correctly. |
The location of
mystery photo #1 was the Chamber of Commerce's sign at the entry to
Collinsville High School off Broadway (& Highway 20). |
Mystery Photo #4 has nothing to do with Collinsville, but was chosen in the spirit of the upcoming Super Bowl. The year was 1979 and the punter was also the quarterback. Can you name the quarterback and the team. I'll show the rest of the photo after I get a few correct answers. I took the photo at the only professional football game I've attended and in this format I call it "block that towel" -- Ted Wright 2/2/2005. | ||
Just for fun ... do you know the quarterback and team name? | ||
Winners: Ron Phelps
and Eddie Fleming both provided the correct answer with no hints 2/2.
