Sethmon - I don't think BC...not because there isn't some reason for folks to think BC...but that park gives me the willies. Too darned big!

Ter... Whatchew mean by "linear"?

Reg... Oh, never mind.

K..MNOP or Whatever: The 2 or 3 - in my OPINION (NOT FACT) refers to a dispute over boundaries. St. Paul "took a leap" - I'm thinking in gaining aceage - sometime from one, maybeee two municipalities/unincorporated areas - and made a park outta that. Or it became a park. BC is at the conjunction of Maplewood, St. Paul, and Oakdale.

Yust a thought...

No, but if they can like the name battle creek to something else... I realize it's a strech but I don't have time for research tonight :)

Re: that "Cap" dude:
Leads me back to Harriett!
He designed the Ice Palace way back and the 1992 Palace was at Harriet as well; Also, Harriett has a playground there shaped like a school house named after Harriet Bishop (Faith anew)--

Green - linear in this instance means things lined up in little rows....finish one thing and move to the next...group like things together...eat all of one thing on your plate before moving onto the next...linear.

Green being linear is not computing real well...but I saw it with my own eyes!

Maybe it was fluke.

Mr.MN, could you e-gram (or whatever) that info to me and be a titch more specific...??? PA-LEEZ???

Yeah, but... Why wouldn't a 'cereal' clue fit? Would, you know!

And wouldn't Allison 'pass the puck' if a cereal clue came out and it was for "Battle Creek" and SNOT Kellogg Park!!!

You know... Things are REALLY starting to look in-er-ess-ting!!!

BTW what entrance do you go to to get in line?

Reg - A large park is a good idea. I just have never liked hunting at BC. 32 years of hunting leaves you with favorite parks and least favorite parks to hunt. BC is one of my least favorite.

Battle Creek would be good too.. close by as well I'll have a tan coat on, jeans, black shoes (not too much snow to worry bout) and probably wearing an ear flap type cap (I don't knwo what they're called) and glasses, kinda like the ones yer wearin in that pic

Otay, Ter... Whatever. I don't get this linear thighy and what I did/didn't do.

The whole concept o'linear sounds really dull and boring...

Tanks, KLMNOP...Whatever!

But I'm betting you CAN see the Cap Dome from elsewhere in the park.

And if snot, there's ALWAYS that sign to the east that says "St. Paul, Battle Creek Neighborhood."

You gotta keep fact seperate from opinion here. Thass VERY important.

Lining things up...sorting into like piles/lists. Linear.

And are you calling me dull and boring?!? I'm one of the most linear people I know.

And you oh green one are not...but it flashed there and it surprised the beejeebers out of me.

Terry . . . . I think we're alla little linear in one way or another. Freaks me out though. We're so alike. Perhaps that's why we get along so well.
