About this column:

Every Monday I'll be testing readers' knowledge of Burr Ridge with a close-up of something we've seen dozens of times around town. Take a guess in the comments section.
That aching back could use a visit to this research and care center located off Veteran's Blvd. A row of white semi-circles on the roof suggest the very back bone of the center's research. Do you know the name of the center?  Take a guess below. Patch will award the winner with a small token of our appreciation (read: Patch swag). The location of the previous entry, A Colorful Christmas Cow, was Elm School. The cow stands at the 60th St. entrance.
This is one colorful cow. It is also a well-educated cow and has been reported hanging around schoolyards in Burr Ridge. Do you know which elementary school in Burr Ridge this cow calls home? Take a guess below. And in the spirit of the holidays, Patch will award the winner with a small token of our appreciation (read: Patch swag).
What looks like last year's tangled wad of Christmas lights from the garage is actually something better organized and much brighter. You may have seen this at the Jingle Mingle resting on a large tree (hint, hint) on the Village Green. Can you guess what this image is? 
Hands-on horsing around is encouraged here for people of all abilities. Can you guess which nonprofit uses this emblem at its gates?
Come to this studio and fix those two left feet. Here's a big hint: think "twinkle toes."
This Burr Ridge church bears my name. Parishioners say I am the patron saint of converts, courage and the struggle against all odds. Walk this church's grounds and you will find this labyrinth, created by Boy Scout Troop 69. Which church am I?   
This bridge promises safe passage over this pretty park pond.  Which Burr Ridge park is it? Here's a big hint: The park is named after the person who called Burr Ridge "A very special place."
Burr Ridge residents see this everyday. It welcomes us home and is written in stone. Can you guess what it is?
