Kids Schmids, just lock em in their room...LOL! Grn-I-Grl, tonights clue will probably refer to something real specific like playground equipment...I hate this new clue writer!

Scribe - that is a good way to think about school. I am going to use your technique.

Also, good info about Case/Cass (whatever it is called, I can't remember) - there is a sign that says it is state land so maybe there are different rules for it.

Mikey, there's a flag flying on my porch! LOL! Seriously, I don't think it's a specific park with a flag, it has to mean something bigger than that because most parks have flag flying.....at least the ones I've been to today all have.

they said it was state property and they were warned (by who I dont know) that it was not on state property

I wouldn't say usually. Seems to me the street names usually start to show up around clue 7. Although I think it's possible that the coldest star is the North Star which might refer to Minnesota St.

I've got it! The first letter of each sentence, reading down, spell:

At Ft Saia Kewo Tity

Now if only I was fluent in gibberish :(

Well if we are going with that logic, Burr Street would also fit.

I like North Star too -it just seams so obvious that I am trying to rule it out...Galileo said back in the 1600's that saturn at that time was the coldest star.

ares has been quiet because he hasn't been in front of his computer all that much the past few evenings. shagg's explanation was right. i show up because i have a check moderated posts window open all the time that's keeping me on. when med kids posted last nite that me2 and i said goodnight from somewhere in ramsey county, he really meant it. by the time i dropped her off at home, and got home myself the only thing i wanted to do was crawl into a nice cozy bed. i'm thinking i'll catch some zzz's today so i can stay up later tonite.

Wouldn't that be taking '2 steps'?

Only 348 more to slog...
Apparently everyone agrees that 'parked among us' means it is definitely NOT in a park.

yes it is, thought it's a rather obvious second step so not as bad. But there are also lots of North Star this and North Star that places around. Artemis had a good post on that earier. Anyway, I'm heading out to the park I think it's in so I guess I'll see you all later.
