Scout This! Spring 2010 - Can you identify the photo?

Winner: Jason Chase

Scout This! Winter 2010 Winner...Jason Chase

Jason Chase’s winning entry was randomly drawn from the group of correct answers we received.

He knew that the photograph of the “furniture” painting came from a switchbox in Davis Square’s main concourse, at the corner of College Ave and Holland St.

How did he know? As it happens, Jason is a Somerville artist (jasonchase.com). Back in 2006, he painted the popcorn box that’s right next to the switchbox in the contest.

Jason painted the popcorn box as his community benefit project, after winning a grant from the Somerville Arts Council. “I spent many days down there, back in 2006,” he recalls.

When he saw the photograph of the furniture painting in the Spring, 2010 edition of Somerville Scout, he thought it looked familiar. “But I still went down there just to double-check,” he says. He had not been down in Davis Square since Honk! Fest in October.

For the second consecutive issue, our “Scout This” winner plans to spend his $50 prize at Highland Kitchen (150 Highland Ave). Already a regular – he lives in the vicinity – Jason says he intends to use his money mainly on “drinks made by Joe” – Old Fashioned cocktails in particular. We’re already raising our glass to you, Jason!

Scout This! Winter 2010 - Can you identify the photo?

Winner: Dara Olmsted

Scout This! Winter 2010 Winner...Dara Olmstead

Dara Olmsted’s winning entry was randomly drawn from the group of 20 correct answers we received.

She knew that the photograph of the word “Gold” came from the Gold Star Memorial Library (115 Broadway) in East Somerville (aka the East Branch of the Somerville Public Library).

Dara and her boyfriend, Brian Silverstein, spotted gold on their way home from Vinny’s (76 Broadway), where they had just savored a standout dinner. We were thrilled to learn that Dara and Brian gave Vinny’s a shot after reading about the restaurant in our Winter, 2010 edition!

Dara and Brian are planning to use their winnings to try another Somerville joint: Highland Kitchen (150 Highland Ave).

Of course, Dara wasn’t the only entrant with an eye for gold. Carolyn Scimemi told us, “While I instantly recognized the photo, I was totally surprised when my six-year-old son, Maxwell, identified the picture. Right off the bat he said, ‘Gold Star Library.’

“He recognized it as our local library, where we check out books and mommy and daddy go vote. Though he left out the word “Memorial” from the name, I nevertheless want to enter him in the contest.” We’re glad you did, Carolyn!
