Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.

Just a minor point. If you criticize people's ideas too harshly, even if they seem really stupid, you may keep someone else who has a genuinely good idea from saying anything because they are afraid it will also be considered stupid. Besides, some of these theories are genuinely entertaining.

Thanks AW

INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS EACH TIME.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we had not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.

What this means people, is we must never give up, but we must trudge on together to find the money to feed the PARTY!!!!

Hi- I know I am very new to this searching thing (2nd year) but I have some theories I hope are right. I figure that since you have all given me a lot of St. Paul info I didn't know, I should give you mine. And, I don't have much time to hunt this weekend since I am working on my thesis, I figured someone on this web site should find it.

Iris Park Clue 1, park in St. Paul. Clue 2, Pace - University Ave (old cars in summer) and Ace - old Ace bar down the street. Clue 3, lots of taller buildings, car repair near by. Clue 4, gain relief from rain under the overhangs at Porkys, cooking at porkys. Clue 5, opposites attract - Iris is on both east and west Lynhurst, Clue 6, well trained eye = Iris

Dunning Clue 1, park in St. Paul. Clue 2, pace = running track, astute = statue, there is a sculpture right next to park, ace = archery targets. clue 3, there is a building right to the north that looks like 2 buildings (not sure of name). Clue 4, relief from the rain under the grandstand covering the bleachers and concession stand for cooking also serve in tennis or volleyball. Clue 5, there are 2 ball fields that are exactly opposite each other, foul = foul ball. Clue 6, well trained and lesson = school (three schools around park), eye and attack could be about archery again.

Good luck all and thanks for all of your help.

But why? I have heard the arguements from people in here and i just don't see why it's Swede as opposed to Mounds or as opposed to even Highland.....

Excellent POINT IAN!

We must refrain from critisism unless it is warranted!

We must look at every original idea through a microscope before we throw it away!

Step: I just like the park for its character and history--it deserves to be on the A list.

By uniting our minds into one , we can and will overcome the challenges before us!!

We must be a TEAM, one for all and all for one!

And that is why I'm telling everybody right now, If I win I will share it with you all and start a new tradition of teamwork and sharing!

If I find it I determine how to best spend the dough! I assure all of you it will be the COOLEST Party yall will ever see!!!

Important Warning Everyone ---

Everyone, don't trust Pie, he/she/it welched on a bet with a former poster by the name of Bud. They won't split anything with anyone, besides I thought that Pie lived in Colorado.

TheTreasureHunter'sGuide - a couple of things to add to your topnotch guide. The "stonehedge sort of thing". the center stone has a hole through which you view the towers(looking north). there is a sewer cap about 3 ft from center stone.

Lets see I think the clue foul means that it is inside of a Denver Bronco logo football because their game sure looked and smelled something rotten this past season.
