it wont be at rice, no parking, too conjested, ice carvings would all be destroyed, downtown would be terrorized, and the park would be destoryed, they would not put in in rice.

WRIGHT WERE YOU THINKING PALACE

WW: that's what you would think but, it doesn't have to be directly in the park maybe on a pole on the corner or under the bus stop bench that's where they are throwing everyone off.

everyone thinks that they wouldn't hide it there because of what you mentioned but, you really don't know

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 7:08 PM Permalink

I thought it had to hidden inside the park

I'm just saying I really don;t think it would in Rice Park

I hear a lot of talk about Phalen, earlier today it was Newell and Highland, what has those eliminated?

LLkisses

Well, I think it is but, we all have opinions and I thought maybe that would open up a new door you know just suggesting something new

Of course, we all know it can be hidden at any park within St. Paul - we'll know more by the 5th clue; however, I would be pretty shocked to hear it was at Rice Park - where does the clue about rain shelter and cooking fit in there? It would be very unlikely for the medallion to be hidden there especially because of the reasons repeated earlier regarding destruction, etc., of other carnival activities.

Where to indigents go for shelter from the rain? The library! Best restaraunt in St. Paul? St. Paul Grill! All by Rice Park! Ok, that may be the best reach in 2521 postings, but I had to try.

Okay here's our theory's

Landmark Towers is directly north and across the street from rice now they didn't say that the towers or two had to be a radio or water tower did they. No so there is these buildings that say that they are towers right on them also there is a bus stop with shelter and a concession stand> food and also a thiny ma do to stand under while you wait for your food which would keep you away from the rain.

You can see also the first state bank #1 right inbetween these buildings if they are talking about that about the ace clue

There is so much stretching here that someone is likely to pull a muscle. Keep on noodling! :]

I had thought of Rice Park for a brief moment b/c of the towers and the Landmark Tower- But think about- there is nowhere to park and the ice sculptures would be destroyed- but then again think about how much $ the city would make off the parking meters

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 7:20 PM Permalink
SHOWMEDAMONEY

But again, like has been said before, highly unlikely that it will be in Rice park because of the sculptures. If it were a big park they would have "let it out" of the bag already...

well, no one else came up with these give us some credit here

IS anyone thinking palace?? MY personal facvorites are still Neweell and maybe highland....have we ruled out Cherokee because it was just there??

Wed, 01/26/2000 - 7:22 PM Permalink
SHOWMEDAMONEY

Touche, credit given, and I'll eat crow if it is there. I am still thinking Phalen but I have to get out there and start scoping things out...

Very little rev on meteres. No Charge after 4:30 PM. Plus it would really muck up Ordway and St. Paul Grill customer traffic. Big sponsors of St. Paul.

Palace doesn't have picnic or pavillions- But I guess who knows if the clue means the park has to

LL - your theories are good - but does anyone know of a time they mixed the medallion hunt location with other carnival activities, such as the ice sculptures? - anyone a history buff on past medallion hunts? - I can't remember a time when the medallion was found in a park where things like the ice sculptures were also taking place - for fear of destruction ,etc.

I briefly stopped at Newell today on the way home from work. It basically meets the clues but something doesn't feel right. Anyway, there were people there digging already. Some told me they were there already yesterday.

It was just a joke MacGrove

So are we out of parks with golf courses? The clue doesn't actually eliminate the parks like last years did but they don't want people digging up a course cuz its expensive to fix

I tried Phalen after last nights clue. The park gates were locked. If it is in Phalen there is plenty of walking to be done to get to the past palace site, which I thought of right away yesterday night.

nope
