Yeah, now with clue 8, I have to go NORTH to Central...makes complete sense to abandon Como at this time.

I think you are right. Central Park fits the Queen clue so much better than Como and as others have said, Central Park has that New York connection. There is also a Brooks Ave that goes around the Southern portion of the park and Chatsworth, Churchill, Oxford and Lexington all run in to it.

I think this clue is about Jake - ryhmes with rake. A "hero" for finding the puck with only 3 clues and causing a second medallion to be hidden - in Central Park.
"by another name" could this be a reference to Shakespeare? "A rose by any other name" Rose Ave. is right near the grouping of streets previously mentioned. The Queen song would be Victoria "Killing it" would be N Kilburn
Also, parking the car, street references in the Queen song, and the sidewalks of New York all make me think they are trying to get us to look at street names. Maybe I'm just too zeroed in on Como though.
That seems pretty obscure about Ragsdale. Map Guy makes sense as the person they're talking about, but do they really mean to give us the park this way? And you're right that it doesn't seem to fit the other clues very much. Maybe the park isn't the clue but rather his name, though I can't connect it to anything. David

If so, how would any of the other clues fit this area? In earlier clues, when I thought the present CW sounded like Jim Ragsdale, I went to the Cooler Crew site to research past hunts and saw the 2015 hunt as a tribute to him. Is that what we are supposed to get from Clue 8? Some sort of tie-in to Jim?
I can't find my treasure hunt book by map guy. We moved and I have some unpacked boxes still. I wonder what he says about Como Park in there? I know there are tons of photos on his web site. yeesh, this just keeps getting weirder.

The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival every year. While the prize can only go to one winner, The Allison Wonderland is dedicated to the community spirit of treasure hunting. Here, not only will you find out about the Pre-Dig Gig, the Rehash Bash, and various other social events, but we also discuss the clues here in a team effort to decipher them (albeit not always successfully). This is a place to discuss ideas respectfully, report on what's happening "on the ground", and provide each other with useful information. This is a public group so expect that anything posted will be seen by everyone.
