While there was some confusion as to the location of a complicated intersection, readers still correctly identified our last sidewalk photo as the confluence of Lexington Road and Hamilton Avenue before merging with Barret Avenue in Phoenix Hill. Well done Clay, Ken Wilson, Lee Donphue, and bourbonball72. Here’s a new photo ready to be identified in the comments.

12th Street behind Central High?
Close. It’s 13th street. Looks like the corner of 13th of Jefferson facing south towards Ali.
Thanks for the linkage!
