I think maybee just the 4 refers to the golf course, Amy... As in "fore" - or, like you think - the 4th hole.

Just my thoughts!!!

And don't go digging there!!! LOL!!!

Both the ninth holes and the 18th holes are going to be close to the clubhouse and you yell four if you hit a bad shot and it is going toward someone.

It could be adjacent to a clubhouse, I'm not sure if they have addreses though

Wright, numbers aren't evil, it's the love of numbers that is evil :)

4th street. 5 and dime. well 9 is almost 10. and its about near the action. 5 and 9 are odd numbers, maybe its around "odd" people??? and the 4 represents the past. ohhhhhhh were tripping now. thats it, im getting out the oudja board to solve this one.

Highland has a 9-hole golf course and is bordered by West 7th St. which is also known as Highway 5.

9 5 4 could represent the number of certain objects in the park

1998's "Shovel Boy"

Has anyone thought that maybe somewhere a four actually means some wear a four? I don't know what I'm getting at here, but I don't think it's mathmatics, like adding or subtracting the numbers and I don't think it's going to be an obvious number or address on something. The word adorn, is a classy word. It doesn't imply something thrown on or slapped on, it shows style. The word figure points possibly to figure skating, where certain skaters might wear the numbers: 9, 5 and 4. Is there a skating event in the winter carnival that takes place in Como or near Como, or I guess anywhere else for that matter?

Duff- checked the addresses and none of them make much sense.

Maybe they put the golf course disclaimer up because it is near a course, but not on one

Actually they said it is not on the golf course but no one said it is not in a park next to the golf course.

They didn't tell us to forget about golf courses completely, they just said "don't disturb a FAIRWAY or GREEN"!So I don't think this actually rules out golf courses??

Good noodling, Amy!!!

Ah, but don't play in the streets! They aren't going to put it there because you could get sqershed!

(I'm teasing you!!! Serious on the good noodling tho!)

it has nothing to do with a golf course they just warned us ahead of time so that we wouldn't think of looking.... they knew we would think golf course as soon as a 4 came along. Come on they arent going to give that up already they are just playing with us

forget it Wright... thought you were someone else... but since i have a good segway i'm gonna bring up somthing i was wondering about last night...

The last words of #1 and #2 are SCENE and ACTION... both are relating to movies... one thing that came to mind is Jingle All the Way and that some shots were done in St. Paul... now if anyone knows where there were done that might help out...

I would bet it is in one of the larger parks and most of them have a golf course so I wouldn't rule out anything Matty. Just my opinion though
