Went to Swede Hollow(close to work) and here were my observations. The bldg at Payne and Minnehaha has a Vikings flag at half-mast. The gas station across the street is a "Marathon"(set your own pace). Other corner is police station - ref to #2 "So get yourself out and into the chase" ... "loot". South on Payne towards 7th is "St.Paul bar and restaurant equipment store - #4. "Serve" ... "get you cooking".

Was Theodore Hamm or son a previous King Boreas?

Just enjoying the hunt!

I was at SWEDE:

Here's what I found:

Streets: North, Tedesco, Prebble, Drewell, Beaunont, Hopkins, Payne, Petit, and e. 7th, Edgerton!

Sign on MMC says COOKIN!

Two towers at entrance and alot of tower by HAMMS!

CHURCH, Police Station, Railroads, College, ETC.

No ones been there and it is a pretty cool place!

It used to be the pits and is now a really cool park!

You can get out of the rain by the entrance under the bridge!

It seems possible just because it's new, never been, and one of the coolest spots in the city with alot of history!!

Swede Hollow Park, which is also on St. Paul's East Side, is a former residential and industrial area that was converted to park land beginning in 1973, when neighborhood residents and the St. Paul Garden Club collaborated with the city's Parks Department to create a city park. The park continues to be improved by a partnership of people, including Friends of Swede Hollow, the Parks Department, Department of Natural Resources, and Greening the Great River Park. The park is located in a secluded drainage ravine significantly below the grade of surrounding neighborhoods with four access points, and consists of natural areas; including Phalen Creek, historical sites, and a recreational trail. The park's trail is part of the Phalen Creek Trail that runs through the Phalen Corridor, connects to Lake Phalen and will connect with the Willard Munger Trail that goes all the way to Duluth. Phalen Creek is a major feature of this park, especially because the creek is buried in a storm sewer pipe for most of its length.

I will give a couple of my theories on why it may be at Mounds Park. Frist, The Indians that are buried there are Hopewell Indians. That is where WELL comes in. Second, is the EXTRACT part. Ever hear of almond extract? Almond Joy has nuts, Mounds don't!! I said, I only have a couple of theories.
