Florissant Photo Scavenger Hunt

We've got a lighthouse, but do you know where it is and what it's known as?

Ahoy Mateys! After a brief hiatus, the Florissant Photo Scavenger Hunt has returned with new challenges and new shots to figure out. This week's photo scavenger hunt is an aging lighthouse from which salty salors can watch out over the land ships that sail across Florissant's roads by night. Prove your knowledge of the city by being the first person to correctly tell us where to find this landmark.

Isn't this the lighthouse that sits on the Northeast corner of Parker Road and St. Catherine?   more ›

Photo Scavenger Hunt: Mural

How well do you know your city?

Congratulations to Carol Wipperman, last week's Photo Scavenger Hunt winner! The tank is located in Bangert Park along New Florissant Road. This week, we found a beautiful hand-painted mural decorating a parking lot.  Take a good look, then tell us where to find this lovely public art and the name of one busines in the parking lot graced by the mural. The first one to guess correctly gets the bragging rights. Now's your chance to show off your knowledge of Florissant, so let's go.

Photo Scavenger Hunt: Not A Toy Tank

You think you know Florissant inside out? We want to see it.

Thank you to everyone who participated in last week's photo scavenger hunt! The castle was indeed located on the grounds of the Snow White Preschool on Lindbergh. People said the castle was too easy. Hopefully, this week's photo will be more of a challenge. Take a good look at this tank, then let us know where it's "hiding" in Florissant. You know your town, so here is your chance to prove it! In fact, the first person to answer correctly gets the official bragging rights. Let the guesses fly!

Photo Scavenger Hunt: Florissant's Castle

You think you know Florissant inside out? Prove it!

Thank you to everyone who chimed in on our last photo scavenger hunt! The correct answer was indeed Sacred Heart Church. This week, we're giving you a harder challenge. There is a concrete castle hidden somewhere in Florissant. Take a good look at the photo, and tell us  what is housed within the castle, the intersection where people can find it or both. You know your town. Now, this is your chance to prove it. You have until Thursday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. to answer correctly.
