Do you recognize it now?  It is the Northwest Cobb YMCA at the corner of Stilesboro and Mars Hill Road!
 
Well, actually, nobody was able to solve the mystery photo this week, so I have randomly chosen a winner from the list of subscribers and I will announce the winner later. 

Many people thought it was some sort of water or gas tank like the ones in Austell, and it did kind of look like that because of the way the picture was cropped.  I thought it was pretty funny that so many people are members of the YMCA but no one recognized it!  
 
By the way, the hint "There are plenty of people here but it is not a village," was in reference to the song "YMCA" by The Village People. :)
