Please read carefully before attempting to name the Location. Following is the primary clue for Mystery Location No. 336:
From the front of the two-story brick buildings, the closest tree in sight is almost 300 yards distance. In fact, the entire neighborhood is so bleak and inhospitable, it rivals the worst in the former Soviet Union. While the doors are different colors, the only other difference in those units on this particular street is that a few decades ago, a horrible crime was committed by some of the criminal inhabitants residing in one of the dismal structures.
Each day, a new clue will be posted until someone names the location, providing the street address, city and state, as well as the room or apartment number, if applicable, (or province/country if located outside the US) and an explanation as to how each clue applies to the location. If no one correctly names the location, the contest will end at midnight (Eastern time), Saturday, January 14, 2023. Please note, the contest ends at midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. If you live in a different time zone, please make adjustments so you will know what time it ends where you are.
You may discuss the location with other members by posting your comments using the “reply” option, but please do not attempt to name the location until you are absolutely certain of your answer and you are able to post the street address, city, state, etc., along with a photo, or link to a photo, of the Location.
For those of you who remember our old Mystery Locations contest, the point system has changed. Now, if you name the location on the first day, i.e., before the first clue is posted, you will receive 7 points. Thereafter, the points will depend upon the number of clues that have been provided when you name the Location as indicated below. If you name the Location after the first clue, you will receive 6 points, etc., as indicated below. However, after the Sixth (last clue) is provided on Saturday, you must name the location before midnight (EST) Saturday night. Upon accumulation of sufficient points, winners may choose an item from our Prize List.
Sunday (or before First Clue is provided) - 7 points
First Clue (Monday) - 6 points
Second Clue (Tuesday) - 5 points
Third Clue (Wednesday) - 4 points
Fourth Clue (Thursday) - 3 points
Fifth Clue (Friday) - 2 points
Sixth Clue (Saturday before midnight) - 1 point
If you wish, you may collaborate with another member and if the two of you win, points will be divided between the two of you.
This contest is meant to be fun, so, as before, we ask that you conduct yourself accordingly. To prevent any accusations of favoritism, Steve has been advised of the name and address of the Location and will not be participating in this week’s contest. |

Lice: Robert Burns wrote the poem, "To a Louse," after seeing a louse crawling on a woman's bonnet in church.
One of the songs in the musical Hair mentions Manchester, England.
The row houses where the tragedy happened were built in the Victorian era for employees of Manchester's many cotton mills.
On the TV show Designing Women, Suzanne Sugarbaker was a "Designing woman."

I believe this is 91 and 97 Langworthy Road, Manchester, England, the location of the "Child's Play" murder. In December 1992, two women – Jean Powell, 26, and Bernadette McNeilly, 24, – and four men, tortured Suzanne Capper, age 16, for several days by beating her, shaving off all her hair, pulling some of her teeth with pliers, burning her with cigarettes and blasting the song "Hi, I'm Chucky (Wanna Play?)" through earphones, because they thought she had given some of them pubic lice and stolen a pink duffel coat. After torturing her for a week, they transported her out into the country in the trunk of a car, then threw her down a ravine, poured gasoline on her and set her on fire. Unbelievably, she didn't die and managed to crawl up to the road, however, she had burns over 80 percent of her body and died in the hospital a few days later, but lived long enough to name her killers. Most of them were sentenced to life in prison, but because the UK is soft on criminal activity, I think they've all been released. |
