Welcome to the Southwest Observer's new feature - iWitnessed. Every week or so we'll post a close-up photo of local importance ranging from schools to churches to businesses to historical landmarks.
In return, we'll be asking our registered users to try to figure our just what the heck it is that they're looking at. At the end of each contest we will reveal the full photo along with a couple tidbits (just to let ya know that we're up on our neighborhood history as well as the next guy).
A hint will accompany each photo ... but don't think too hard about it. After all, the answer might be in your own backyard.
Rolling along

We all know someone who’s worth the recognition, that neighbor or friend or family member who has an interesting story to tell … but one that not enough people know about. There’s enough bad news today that a little good news about our own neighbors could be just the right thing to keep us focused on what really matters: our community. So why not spread the word? Let us know in 200 words or less why you think someone deserves a little extra recognition. You’ll automatically receive 10 points (50 if we feature that person). Send a Neighbor Name to us
