A huge thank you to Robert Brewer for this hunt. With all of the possible things the imagery could mean we went down a lot of rabbit holes. The really great thing about going down those rabbit holes is that we came out of them with some fascinating tidbits of knowledge. I learned about fascinating people who weren't "famous" but did amazing things, I looked at amazing beautiful architecture, memorials and statuary, and can now navigate most major cities due to Google earth researching (lol). again thank you for the great hunt and a huge thanks and group hug to our team for all the hard work! @jenny Kile - we are coming for you next Well said Bob! Thanks to Robert Jenner and our awesome group for never giving up!! Robert Brewer...lol!! Still in excited land!

Hey, y'all, has anyone figured out the umbrella? Has that been a part of anyone's solves so far? It is always the missing piece for me, and my solutions have all been wrong. Ha. Thanks for bouncing ideas!
It doesn't see much sun, although it looks nice enough to be on display. Namtabeht, now that it's over, where did you find the image of the umbrella? And who was the actress?

I was thinking Anne Hathaway except for the hair.

As it turns out, the item in question is in fact not an umbrella, but a parasol. This particular specimen belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City which has apparently quite an extensive collection which you can browse online. "It doesn't see much sun" as it is currently not on display, "sun" in reference to it being a parasol instead of an umbrella. "...to be on display" was a nudge to look at museums.
Seeing as it's a parasol and not an umbrella (did I mention that already?), I'm a bit baffled as to how this item was supposed to represent a storm drain (see solution).

One of my other "finds": this guy sitting across the street from the Don L. Love Memorial Library at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Wow that's some great sleuthing. Better that I didn't find the parasol or I really would have been married to NYC.
