lildebi- good point. Last year the clue had "chair" and "key". No wood, then no Linwood.

Like maybe the cherished belief that it couldn't be in the same park two years in a row?

Do you all think that numbers keep score and decorate(adorn) the front door means address on a door?

JB, what? It appears to me that they went out of their way to include "iconoclast" in the sentence. It must mean something.

The use of the word goal could also refer to the Goal Post at HP's Footbal field. Also if you go to "mapblast.com or Mapquest.com and enter "954 Snelling Ave. St. Paul MN 55116" the "X" falls right on Montreal & Snelling.

Dave, I was reading a while back around post 480? and I do like your ideas on how you take the first letters. I know that they had spelled the park out in the years past but stopped in 93 i think 93. Good Idea.

Jason - I'm still attached to Newell.

But I haven't ruled out Capitol, HP, or Phalen yet.

In case anyone cares, I have ruled out Battle Creek, Como, and Mounds.

all i have to comment about is that this year the paycheck is 10,000 and i don't think they'd hide it at a small park like newell, but i could be wrong.

I think it is either at Como or HP

I was at Newell last night... Regarding the 9,5, and 4... There is a baseball field (9 players), and a basketball court (5 and sometimes 4 players) within 100 meters... also a sliding hill in between them. There are residental roads of the 900 block of Fairwiew Ave. on either side. Also, the name 'New'ell makes me wonder. Then there is always the road that runs perpindicular.. Taylor. So what feedback can others give to disprove this location?

I seem to remember the Med being in Newell Park years ago, where is Newell Park?

Como can be ruled out because they will not put the medallion and a major attraction such as the Snow Slide...at least never in the past.

Moss- Even if it's 'iconoclastic', I don't think they'll go back to Como that quick.
