I will probably see some of you downtown when the new paper goes on sale...if you see a big guy in a Vikings sweater with a young boy and a greaser near by that

is me...my name is James...stop by and say hi!!! Maybe we can pool our knowledge...if five people win the 10000 that means they will still each

get....ummm....ummm...like $5 er something.

I think it is at Beaver Lake park...all the clues point to it. The streets around it are Ninth Ave., Fifth St., and 4 St., and the address of the rec. center is 495 Smith

Ave. There is a golf course and a sledding hill on the opposite side of the lake and satan lives in a shed in the woods near by, oh and there is a school at the bottom

of the lake...it fell in during a hurricane in 1876.

I'm so sick of IT! Why did I even start looking on the water cooler for people to chat with. Instead of getting some true dialogue going on about people's thoughts on

the clues, all I read is crap. One liner crap at that!

You guys aren't much help at all. I've given a true clue back a few hours ago and no one responded at all. Everyone's so stuck on Highland, como, Newell, etc. they

can't see through the bull.....

Too bad!

Chris13 I pray you didn't actually believe all that stuff I wrote about Beaver Lake Park...if you did, consult a mortician because a person with such a small cranial

capacity barely has enough room for the essential brain matter needed to run the heart and lungs. JK LOL

Has an area to slide...but clue says not to go to close...it is a clue telling you not to go near sliding area...a sliding clue has been in lots of years past clues telling you

not to go too close...PP does not want anyone to get hurt.

How many parks have famous names? How many roads and streets too? To the folks at PP who are frustrating me, Please write a rhyme that gives me a clue!

It is in France

It is in Paris

It is in Harrods department store

Think of the clue that says "If Dodi were still with us, he couldn't care any less, for the medallion you seek, the prize to him would reek!"

Has anyone been looking @ Battle Creek park?

Here's the proper interpretation of the clues: #1 It may or may not be in a park with a golf course. #2 It may or may not be in a park with a sledding hill. #3 The

numbers 9,5, & 4 will be found somewhere in the park, if you look hard enough. #4 Where ever you think it is, it isn't. #5 Somewhere within sight of the park there's

a book. #6 The name of one of dozens of famous people whose name has been used to name things, has their name nearby. Face it people, they don't ever want us

to find it!
