After nearly 8 years, I still suck at estimating how hard or easy the Sunday Photo Challenge will be.
Some weeks, a dozen or more readers nail an obscure location, or odd image.
Other times, they swing and miss at what I am sure is a softball pitch.
Last week was one of those instances when an inordinate number of you struck out.
You may not have known what the black thingamabob shown in Amy Schneider’s photo was. (A do-it-yourself bicycle fix-it station. Click here to see.)
But the background — complete with a bit of the Gillespie Center in the corner — was sure to give it away.
It didn’t.
Only Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Jerry Kuyper, Andrew Colabella and Jonathan McClure recognized the site as Jesup Green, by the Westport Library.
Incorrect guesses included Compo Beach, Old Mill Beach, Longshore, Town Hall and Winslow Park.
There are similar bike fix-it stations at those locations. (Though only the Library and Town Hall are listed on the Dero company’s map, helpfully linked to by Susan Eastman.)
Andrew Colabella notes said that there are 4 sites in town — gifts from an anonymous resident. Matt Murray added that he’s never seen any of them used.
Now you know.
But do you know this week’s Photo Challenge?
I have no idea.

Dunkin Donuts Bridge square
Sure looks like “Dunkin’ font….
Photo challenge: Train station ?
Dunkin’ by Planet Pizza
Jen is right. It is the Dunkin in Compo Shopping Center.
Susan and Brian were half right. That font is very distinctive.
That looks like the Dunkin’ font. Probably at Compo since it’s in gray.
In Dunkin’ Donuts near CVS on Post Road
Dunkin in the Compo shopping center! I spend a little too much time and money there…
You can never spend too much time at Dunkin’. Starbucks is another matter.
