Yahtzee - the clue says the name is in many books - so I don't think its that obscure - to be in a book about St. Paul history.
hold on lildebi i made a boo-boo:( it is the 900 divider and that post (that should be there) is directly across from the sr. high right where the lettering is on the wall
Gail- i'm thinking COMO, there are statues there, i was thinking maybe the famous name is on a statue or something, and most of the clues can be fit to COMO. problem - i don't who the statues are named for. can anyone help?
Yahtzee - Sorry, you are correct. I have it written correctly, but typed it wrong. So - What I meant, is this rules out a couple of parks, one in particular.
Annie - I think you are addressing me. The reason I asked was because the whole Newell Park thing has been discussed since the very beginning. Don't know if anyone is still leaning towards there or not. Heard the park is all dug up though.
Annie - to refresh the messages, either click on recent at the top of the page, or click on the blue number after the last message you see on your screen.
I think they mean icon as something or someone that is important or familiar to many people. The clue states to go AWAY from such a thing. i.e. be willing to become an iconoclast.
I am thinking of the Ham's Mansion that burned down so many years ago. Which rules out Swede Hollow. 1 of my two choices.
Annie - no problem! It's fun to have new minds speaking here! Hope you enjoy it - if you can be patient enough to withstand the server problems. Don't be alarmed if you get error messages from time to time - telling you Web Crossing Server off, etc.
hamline also spelt hamlin is a school in the midway area also there is a park called hamline play ground in the midway area. Hamlin was the vice pres under Abraham
Morning, Still haven't come to my 100% pure decison as to the park. My only addition to this chat is that I think it may be in a CD case or similiar. Clue 4's play on words, new-well, and "blast" from the past and clue 5's "DISCerning" lead me to this. A "blast from the past" as in music (maybe) ,but in 1984 the medallion was at Newell park and found taped to a 45 record. Maybe they are refering us to that. Iconoclast in thesarsus lists "critic" , on a shot in the dark PP's music critics are Fleming and Walsh. But only walsh is a street in St. Paul, 2 blocks off of Phalen. So the critic part is out for me. But I think it may be secured to a CD, like in '84 at Newell.
Hello All I Now have found meaning in all of the clues except...Iconoclast. I know what it means and it doesn't go with anything. Since they ussually keep it simple I am to assume that Iconoclast is a word scramble. However I need help cracking it.
I'm still thinking Swede Hollow - that place is different - mostly a revine - but huge possibilities - wasn't dug up at all yesterday - I'll be heading there again today -

Hey guys what do you think about Newell Park (sp?) over off of Pierce Butler?
Gail- i'm thinking COMO, there are statues there, i was thinking maybe the famous name is on a statue or something, and most of the clues can be fit to COMO. problem - i don't who the statues are named for. can anyone help?
iconoclast - someone who worships an ICON . Like oh, lets say the Ham's Bear??? But Read the clue again.
There's also a Taylor Street over there.
iconoclast - someone who worships an ICON . Like oh, lets say the Ham's Bear??? But Read the clue again.
Frank - I'm sticking away from Webster. The clue says the name is in a book, not the name of a book. Just my opinion though - could be wrong.
Where in Como though?
ANNIE, clue 4 well and new, newell park
Dave--An iconoclast is someone who opposes a religious image(icon), not someone who worships an icon.
dave, iconoclasm has to do with orthodox religion
Merriam Park is still a good one. Longfellow is good.
Dave - iconoclast isn't someone who worships an icon, but someone who defies one.
Boreas - I think they've referenced statues at Como when its been there in the past. Check it out. I like your idea.
Annie - is this the first time you've been on the cooler?
I live in Como and I haven't seen too many people here. I live off the golf course though...near the lake.
Yahtzee - Sorry, you are correct. I have it written correctly, but typed it wrong. So - What I meant, is this rules out a couple of parks, one in particular.
Yeah, I've been reading your comments this morning. Why do you ask?
wasnt iconoclast the name of a 16th 17th century Protastant who destroyed sacred images...
icon = statue
Is there a way you can keep gettin new messages without typing an clues?
dave, which park inparticular???
Annie - I think you are addressing me. The reason I asked was because the whole Newell Park thing has been discussed since the very beginning. Don't know if anyone is still leaning towards there or not. Heard the park is all dug up though.

But who WAS Longfellow?
Longfellow is a school in Merriam Park,which is also the original home of the state capitol building

Are there people at Newell now? I might head out there, I'm not too far.
Longfellow was an american poet!
iconclast in the dictionary means distruct or destroyer
I think I'm gonna head out, I'll check back in with ya'll in a bit. Have a good day, and Good Luck!
