OK, here it is. Today’s strange and wonderful foto. For the uninitiated, every Friday we have a contest where you need to identify the object in a featured photo of some obscure Foster City landmark or oddity. Today’s winner gets a $30.00 gift certificate for lunch or dinner at ABC Seafood located at the Metro Center Shopping area. In order to win you must identify two things…Where is this thing? and What is this thing? Just place your answer in the comments below. All the rules are available both at the top of this page and on the left margin. I won’t publish the correct answer, or answers, until Monday but I will publish gentle ribbing, overt kidding around and all wrong answers. First person to identify it correctly wins! Go for it!

Thank you very much!! Go Foster City Blog!!

First of all, congratulations to all three people who correctly named Week 1’s “Funky Foto” as being in the Dog Park in Foster City at Bounty and Foster City Blvd. The first correct answer came from Steve Toler in Foster City…and possibly he was aided just a tad since he works for the City. Way to go, Steve!! (At least he can’t play again for another 4 weeks.) Thanks also to Erika and Michael who also choose correctly…get ready guys for the next photo this Friday - March 28th!

Secondly, we made it to the Final Four in the VARBuzz Real Estate Blog Brawl! It’s really incomprehensible and certainly I owe it all to you guys for voting for this blog! Thank you very much! This round we’re up against a fantastic blog from the Detroit area…myoaklandcounty.com. Your continued support is very much appreciated, please help this little blog into the Finals! You can vote here up till midnight on March 26th:
