Last time we had two winners. Michael Arwe and Susan McPhee guessed it’s above the Bank of America entrance on Church St. See last week’s to refresh your memory.

Frank Siteman is busy this week and Mike Arwe has offered to take his place. Mike is the grand champion of How well, identifying almost every photo since this column started.

Mike writes this about himself: “A graduate of Dartmouth College, Michael Arwe finished his career by teaching all levels of Latin at Lowell High School for 17-plus years, having left the archaeological and legal professions for greener pastures. He has a curious eye, a cellphone that takes pictures, and is in no way a photographer.”
