Just got back from prosperity park, it has a Clear St. that runs into it, Clear St, runs right into field #4, there is also a scoreboard for baseball, which has the 4th 5th

and 9th innings on it... Also a horseshoe pit, tennis courts, basketball courts, hockey rink, does any of this fit, or am I just tired from digging. Also went to Newell

Park, lots of scattered trees, I'm baffled!

Ken, that was the one thing, I was thinking they are telling us to stay away from Como with the sliding?

I would tell you but I can't find my sheet of clues, do you know how to get to Merriam Park?

Mounds park - many trees in a row - however not many people in search of the prize...

I was also trying to link the 150 years of the P/Press to the person writting the clues... Does anybody know of an old P/Press location that may link to these clues?

The paper has a relatively new marketer and she seems pretty clever.

I'd be coming from the northern suburbs, there is a lot on the 7th clue earlier, go to previous messages, I would offer some suggestions but my brain is fried!

Well, you could take Snelling (51) then take a left on Marshall, right on Prior, and you'll see Longfellow Magnet school on the left, and the park is just after that.

Don't go past the bridge, or you've gone too far. It's by St.Anthony.

How many people are out at Como this morning?

mommy knows best

I don't think anyone or very few, are at Como. From what I gather, not many people really get clue7.

Am I the only one who thinks that the words "trees in a line" or "first of trees in a line" should be unscrambled to find a name?

I do, I've been working on that but can't come up with nothin for like 3 hours, must be brain dead.

I think "trees in a line" is refering to a boarder of some kind, maybe to a golf course?
