Where am I? (Part 6)


How long has that Uneeda Biscuit advertisement been on the side of that building? I don’t know, but it was faded even when I first saw it many decades ago. There used to be a lot more such advertisements back in the day. This one seems to have survived long enough to qualify for permanency.

I drove by it again today. Then I circled the block and came back to shoot a few photographs.

So that’s today’s question. Where is it?

If you know, click on the word comments below to give your answer.

Congratulations to Becky and Terry for correctly naming our last location: The Azalea Gardens at Bryan Park. The park itself is named for Joseph Bryan, the founder and publisher of the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It was a gift to the city from the Bryan family in 1910. The azalea garden was begun by volunteers in 1952.  In the next 15 years, those volunteers planted some 450,000 azaleas in 50 varieties.

When the azaleas are in bloom, as they are now, the garden is a beautiful sight.
