You welcome. 😉
Here is a screencap of the plaque.
And I typed up the text since it’s too little to read 😀
Wishing Well plaque
For centuries, local legends claimed their mystical waters ran beneath this great land. It is said that these waters posses the power to return that which is lost to its rightful place. If you have lost something precious to you, drink from this well and bear witness to the miracle as what is missing shall be returned.
what I find very interesting about the description of the wishing well is the use of the word “centuries” because we know Storybrooke hasn’t been around that long. the last part about ‘bearing witness’ sounds like text pulled from the Bible.
here’s a screencap of places where we have seen the tree. [from tumblr]
I just found a really cool shot of the 8th episode! It’s at the depate and on the banner where Town Hall is written, there’s also the SB symbol of the tree. Now look closely. Do you see the red dots? 😀 Most probably apples, right?
What’s that under the tree?
under the tree looks like a bee hive more than a well
It could also be the entrance to the mines. If someone has a sharper screenshot, please post!
I also have to believe that the stranger is Pinocchio. He has said more than once he “cannot tell a lie”.
When Emma finally got him to tell his name, he said August W. Booth. After she prodded, he then told her his middle name (which we will probably never hear mentioned again).
His middle name has two possibilities because they both sound the same. If his name is Wayne, it could be a reference to Bruce Wayne’s adversary the Riddler AKA Edward “E.” Nigma (enigma) … however, if his middle name is Wain, then it could relate to the Old English word “wegan” (to move) and then M-W refers this to the word “Way” which has several possibilities – “an opening for passage”, “method of accomplishing”, “direction”, etc.
His middle name could be both Wayne and Wain.
I suspect that August was the 7 year old boy who “found” Emma (Emma looking at old newspaper clippings that said a 7 year old boy found her) His father probably sent him out of fairyland before the curse. Pinocchio looked to be about 7 years old at the time of the pending curse.
Was Pinocchio made out of the same magic tree that the cabinet was made out of? Did the blue fairy help somehow? Did Geppetto put him in the same tree cabinet after Emma but before the curse finally took hold. (hence Booth?)
Don't grow up. It's a trap.
Yeah, mia! So glad you saw that. So that seems to confirm the apple tree being the tree on the insignia. I saw a screencap at roneyzone of a plaque at town hall and it definitely looks like a door under the tree.

When I look at the insignia on the sheriff’s badge, it looks to me as if it could also be a grave. Like Henry’s (father) headstone.
Thanks for the screen cap, Mia! So the city logo is definitely an apple tree, which makes total sense, and now we can speculate as to what is underneath it. 🙂
