Last Time,
First to call in last week with the answer to the
picture was Tina Gonzales, who guessed correctly
that it was the portion of the wall around the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, on the corner of
Third and Virginia Streets. Others calling in to an-
swer were Danny Noriega, Margarita Zuniga, Ro-
ger Terry, Jose Castallenos, Daniel Martinez, and
Mark McClendon. Most guessed correctly, but one
person did guess that it was a portion of the north
side of the water plant on Illinois Street.
