Time to mix things up a bit. This week, instead of zooming way in on a photo and having you identify it, we're giving you the whole shot. But there's a catch—the photo is a retro shot, courtesy of the awesome Facebook group "Flashbacks of St. Louis Park." So...do you know where the above pic was snapped? Post your guess in the comments below.
The field is part of Freedom Park in St. Louis Park.
Modette Broz was the first correct guesser this week, as she identifed the scoreboard at Paul Frank Field. The field is part of Freedom Park, which is located near the Park Tavern and the St. Louis Park Library. Be sure to check back next week for another "Where in the Park?"

A member of the Flashbacks of St. Louis Park Facebook group was spot on this week in identifying the Sabes Jewish Community Center as our mystery photo.

Or, translated, the "pancake house."
People in the Park know their pancakes. A few folks correctly identified Pannekoeken Huis as this week's mystery photo. Pannekoeken, of course, is Dutch for pancake. And huis=house. So this is one delicious place. Kudos to those who got this week's photo right. Be sure to check back on Monday for another "Where in the Park?"

The building reopened in 2010 after a year-long remodel.
Our friends in the "Flashbacks of St. Louis Park" Facebook group had a lot of guesses, and finally Colby Cartney correctly identified the Municipal Service Center. Way to go, Colby! The Municipal Service Center, or MSC, houses 60 large city vehicles, such as dump trucks and street sweepers, as well as smaller equipment. The MSC is also home to the offices of many city divisions, such as utilities and public works. And, after a year-long, $9.5 million remodel, the MSC re-opened in September 2010 with an additional 53,000 square feet of space and revamped meeting areas. Check back next week for another "Where in the Park?"
