Recent Clues:
Clue #1 Congrats to the finder, to all a reminder
To hunt hard from first to last clues
Medallion I is history. Now a new mystery
Begins -- strap on your hunting shoes
To some its demented, for all unprecedented
But hunters’ thirst must be quenched
Tell sister and brother we’ve hidden another
In a park where a body can be benched
Our 2nd prize? Don’t laugh -- 10-thou cut in half
So get out there even if it’s snowy
And as a special bonus -- some might say an onus --
A meal with our own Clueless Joey
Good hunting to you, let this be the first clue
Think of a woodsy retreat
It won’t be so hard if you channel the bard
You’ll get warm and smell pretty sweet

NUESBAUMM OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS???
Way to keep me in my favorite park. :smile: Now all I have to do is find the zoo over there. :pbpt:
But seriously....I think a lot of clues fit Cherokee.
"smell pretty"=Baker St.
"hunting shoes"=Chippewa Boots/Chippewa Ave.
"brother and sister"=Shakespeare's Isabella and Claudio/Isabel St.
Ok, so Isabel is spelled differently. I don't care. :wink:
Like pain/pane/Payne.
I think marley was tying "never a bummer" in the 3rd line to nusbaumer. :smile:
Frederick Nusbaumer (1850-1935) was called the "father of the St. Paul park system" for his work as superintendent of parks from 1889 to 1922.
Born in Baden, Germany, he attended the polytechnical school in Freiburg. Upon graduation at 17, he went to London to work in the famous Kew Gardens, after which he traveled to France, where he worked in its largest nursery. In France, Horace W. S. Cleveland, then recognized as one of the world's leading landscape gardeners, urged him to come to the United States.
Nusbaumer immigrated to St. Paul in 1878 and did contract landscaping for 12 years until becoming superintendent. His skill earned Como Park a national reputation. This street within the park was named in his honor in 1967.

Ah-hem!
Isn't it cool that my avatar has it's own emote??
GW has never welcomed our business. They have snarled at us, over charged us, insisted on combining the tickets of various dispersed tables, sighed when we entered. And, most of all, it isn't a bar. It is a restaurant. When we enter, they want us to sit down to an assigned place. They do not want us to mill around.
I know the drinks at Matty B's can be slightly more expensive if you don't take advantage of the drink specials, but it would be very difficult of me to continue to give money to GW when they treat us (as a group) like crap.
who has the coupon link for us??
graci
Egram Me2 for the drink specials thing.
how come i havent seen bex out?
I'LL PASS MINE AROUND...WHAT DO I CARE...IF I LOOSE IT...
"CHANNELLING TO PORT" :wink:
