Conway is a park. It is fairly large too. You can see two glass pyramids on top of Sunray Shopping center when you are in Conway. At night they light

up.

I guess I am not familiar enough with who suggested that? I am still inclined to think that it is in a park that has not been hidden at yet.

Gold digger I like your ideas...very creative Dingdong Didillydias...Do you mean Hamline Playground on Snelling Avenue and Hamline? I'm very familuar with that

park but my brain must be turning to mush because I can't get anything to fit...get me started in the right direction.

Conway ,On Ruth about three blocks north of 94 on the east side of St. Paul.

I still think it is at Mounds. The translucent peak is the airport beacon which is the highest point in Mounds.

dingdong woodrow also runs into B.C. and you can see the peak glowing from there. watch ya think?

can't believe i just heard this on t.v., watching some golf tournament in Phoenix, and (to be honest i wasn't paying attention) but someone made a wonderful put, and

the announcer says,"and there going nuts here in the land of the medicated!"

Bryan, I would thinkg that would be luminous, rather than translucent....the lamp shade is translucent, the lamp is luminous...

Give us an update, Dave. Where were you and what did you see?

Sun, 01/31/1999 - 4:01 PM Permalink
Bryan D Whaley

Well Mounds practically looks over all of St. Paul. I can't think of anything now, but something from the view of mounds has to be translucent. What do you think?

I agree with Downtowner on that one!

Eight hours yesterday, six today....Linwood, Newell, HP and Capitol area, here's how sick I've gotten, I brought a shovel to Mass at Cathedral this morning so I

could excavate the small Park in front of Cathedral with 1st Civil War Volunteer Statue...

Only building downtown I would say is translucent peak would be pyramid on top of Saint Paul Co, more easily visible from West....

Dave, you've got to move out of downtown and to the east side. My personal vote goes to conway park. Sno Man, can you give some thoughts on other clues at

BC?

Sorry Confused--my handle referes to my address, not my hopes to find medallion. It is not downtown. Rice and Mears have been very welll sifted, and you should

see the looks they give you when you approach those ice sculptures in Rice with a big hoe...
