I've never owned a city park before, so I stopped at St. Paul Store and bought a hunk of Como for $1. I have the property deed to prove it.

I now own a square inch of Como Park, "together with all the hereditaments and appurtenances belonging thereto, subject to the following exceptions, etc., etc., etc."

The deed is signed by hizzoner, Norm Coleman, and looks official enough until you get to the bottom of the document and read the disclaimer in small print that this is just a promotion and not a valid instrument.

Rats. I'd planned to go back next payday, double my investment and start an empire.

"We were advised to put that disclaimer on," says store manager Craig Thompson, "to avoid any possible legal problems."

So far, City Store has sold almost 100 deeds to square inches of Como, Phalen, Cherokee, Highland, Mounds and other major parks. At this rate, the store could sell almost a square foot of park in its first year of operation.

I've been a big fan of City Store since it opened in Norwest Crossing last August as an outlet for old manhole covers, stop signs, fire hydrants and other useful public works effluvia.

from an article of boxmeyer's...is this store still open....is this store still selling the deeds???

talk about fun...heh..I own this spot...Its mine...I got dibs!!!

I'll probably be down... but not til closer to clue time....

after spending too much money last night, I'm now almost too poor to even pay attention.... so hanging out for a super-long time, where I'll be tempted to go broke, isnt a good idea.

she going out playing poker :eyeroll:

I'm wondering why???

me2 asked me if I'd play poker sometime this next week... :eyeroll:

wtf?? don't they know there is a puck to be found???

Wicked Nick

maybe its a cover...

they secretly know where it is, and are out finding it...

"Lets go play poker" is secret code for talking about going to get the thing.

There is a 2006 hunt thread within this cooler crew folder. It's where most of the clue noodling has been and will be occuring.

The Shoot the Breeze thread is for whatever one wants to talk about.
