The medallion has NOT been found. Don't post anything unless you call the medallion hotline and confirm it. I just did and it was updated at 10:30 tonight and it

hasn't been found. No radio station will have the information before the Pioneer Press does. They always update the phone message first.

Lindsay: It would be first on the Pioneer Press page - not the radio! And it's not at Como. Not this year.

remember about conway being a recreational centre doenst mean anything the clues said

on public grounds then it said in a park

it did not say in a st. paul public park also recreation centre only means that it has a pavillion for in door activities....it is still owned by st. paul public system

I believe Conway has some good clues but it is so small! I still think Highland in the back of my mind! What do you people think? I am the superstar! Think I ain't?

The clues dont get down to within 10 feet till the last 2 clues or so...that and it says which park on clue 12...I think it might be at Highland..theres water towers there,

and red flashing lights on them...and a few other things that fit for me. Conway seems ok too

even though im getting tired of arguing this same old point, I must bust you...youre wrong tgr 'a park is the spot...' if not the spot where it is hidden, then what 'spot' is

it? why even include that in the clue. i think capitol lawn is where it is, or else kellogg park; somewhere downtown.
