When was the last time you saw a barber pole? Or a fallout shelter sign? Did you know one of the shepherds from the Christmas story had a price on his head? Ever seen a man spitting chain? It's amazing what you find when you start looking for the details. That's what happened to me this past weekend when I shot black and white photos in downtown Vicksburg. For those of you who are just joining us, the first part of this adventuret was posted on Monday, so scroll on down!
These photos are probably like a cruel game of "Where's Waldo." There are two options: either try to find them yourself in downtown Vicksburg or leave a comment and I will let you in on where these photos can be found downtown. I will tell you that many of them were taken while I was sitting in my truck!
Marty, I accept your challenge to try to find the subjects of your photos taken downtown. It may take me a while, but I will post pictures of them ... if, and when ... I find them. What fun -- a photo scavenger hunt!

Another wonderful post, Marty. Great photos! The only fallout shelter sign I've seen in a long time is in St. Augustine at the National Guard HQ. Other than that, no, I haven't seen one in ages. Is the sign for The Vallley still up? I got "lost" in the stairwell once. ;-)
