In Penny&#39;s weekly Beacon Hill Times Attention to Detail newspaper column, she gives readers a close up photo of a clue in the neighborhood. They have a week to figure out where that detail appears and the answer is in the next week&#39;s paper along with a tidbit of information about the building or item shown. She also invites readers to suggest details to use.&#0160;<\/p>\n<p>Recently, a Beacon Hill Times reader submitted the location of this light and asked, \u201dDo you have any history or know if there are\/were other lamp posts with signage like this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even a call to Dave Rooney, the man in City Hall who knows the most about street lights, did not solve the mystery.
