I'm sticking to Newell... On Wed. a coulple of us dug up a pretty large area just in front of the front door of the Newell's park building. If you use the theory that the 9 for baseball, 5 for basketball, and 4 for tennis, then it might be on that line (the bb court bb field and t courts make a perfect line).

Was loking at the earlier postings. Can anyone tie together the Battle Creek meanings? I am not seeing it.

Hello!

Just a thought here. I've seen the references to Linwood. Linwood is a rec center...not a park in the same sense of the word. They have never hidden it at a rec center before, but there is always a first time.

Has anyone been down around the Capitol Mall? I've had several people at work tell me that's where they or someone they know, thinks ittiz.

It wouldn't be there, too easy...trying to throw people off. I think you need to look between the easy stuff and be "discerning"

IN THE SECOND STANZA IT DOES SAY " BUT THERES VALUE AS WELL AS THE NEW!!! HMMMMMMMM "WELL" "NEW" COULD BE A COINCIDENCE BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT IT!!!

any idea on todays clue in regards to newell

Thu, 01/28/1999 - 8:32 PM Permalink
No user inform…

Has anyone thought about the small park by oxford pool? For Clue 5, it's near Central High School. Clue 4, the "Blast" of the OLD Wards building and the NEW is build near-by. Clue 3,Score is kept at the Central HS field/track.I'm not sure how to relate the 9, 5, and 4 or clue 2. Just a thought, if anyone wants to check it out!!
