I like the red white and blue ice pop thing idea, or could be a flag , or just mean "American" Legion

I think the best explanation of clue 4 is that it is inside a bomb pop wrapper. Its cold and red white and blue. north side of ? park

im starting to think this med is hiding on some street somewhere IN downtown St Paul..not in a park. No clue mentions a park but all of them mention 'things' around where the med will be found

1. The Puck is in a park.

2. The Puck is near by when you're standing where you have a clear view o'the Capitol dome.

3. When you're seeing the Cap dome, you needs be south o'it. And, maybe... Ittiz Chair-o-Key or Battle Creek...

4. Gotta see a Nord Star sumpin' or udder. And, the last two lines - I think (was it Med Queen?) means, "You guys liking this crazy hunt? You should!"

ice cold red white and blue bomb pop (with med inside) would be lovely to hold dear

I've been lurking on these boards now since '97/'98. Finally coming out of lurk mode to throw this idea out.

In reference to the North, are there any schools around that have North as part of their name or mascot? Something like North Polars??
Any ideas? thoughts?

Great to see so many lurkers delurking! Welcome to the other side!!!

Across the street from that big snowman I believe there is a tank or some kind of military thing. There might be a legion around close by too if i'm not mistaken...

american legion is close by but I think your barking up the wrong tree
