Thanks mister long john. I'll repeat once more. "B" for battle, "P" for park. BC works just as well, but I wouldn't want people to start thinking that the famous person was Jesus. THough I'm sure he could fit into these clues

Now I'm really leaving

yeah i saw the rome/tome thing but rome leads to the golf course at HP... that one's even simpler that well in the new = newell...

Oh I can't resist this. Say, MATT! Uh, the clue doesn't say sledding, it says flying downhill. In BC there are many downhill bike trails, which I'm sure also could be slidden down if one so had the urge. AND didn't the clue read something about it NOT being hidden on a golf course? That COULD be interpreted to mean it's not in a park with a course. If you're mind is made up, then my friend, you've already lost

I like the idea about St. Francis. Are there any St. Francis streets by any of the parks that are still considered.

MAtt- you're to high on yourself. and STEP, the BC/Maplewood arguement was went through about an hour ago, go back and read it. "Technicaly" the park is divided between StPaul and Maplewood

ladyc.. you related to me? are you my other sister?

a shakespear quote:

Friar Lawrence is pacing in his cell, discoursing heavily with himself. He does not look the part of the "ghostly" confessor, the man of God, his face is a study in shrewd concentration and he murmurs strange recipes, spells, and faraway names to himself as he walks the floor. His cell is a very odd one for a Franciscan. Bunches of herbs, some quite deadly, hang to dry in a cool and dim recess of stone. His small straw pallet rests atop a chest worked with ornate carvings and symbols, which the rough blanket covers almost completely. On the windowsill, between the works of Aquinas and Augustine, a book of herbs and potions lies, with it a tome on Alchemy and Spells. He has no cross upon the walls, no holy icons, and he ignores the bells for matins ringing in the distance.

Charles - explain your Shakespeare quote, other than the word 'tome' appearing in it, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
