Okay let's think here for a sec if they were going to do this different this year and maybe put it in conway again what clues does that park fit in with again? Ace hardware

Newell, Phalen :) i like cosmo well-trained --> tri-ad-newell --> they've done that before and you cant discount newell yet, cause alot of stuff still fits there, just keep your mind open , the year 2000 they finally fool all the doubters and put it back at newell, lmao

Kiwi is right Annette.

The only reason for that thought is everyone is noticeing it not being in the same park within 6 years

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 8:00 PM Permalink

So maybe they will put it in conway again to really throw everyone

"...and it could make you an Ace Hardware Store."

I think not.

In last year's clues they gave out one of the street names in # 6. Do you think they've given one out yet this year? I know a lot of people who favor Newell think that "serve" refers to butler, as in pierce butler, and that "fair"view is the other street, but to me, fair isn't the opposite of cloudy. I know it's the opposite of foul, but isn't the clue suggesting that we take the opposites of both cloudy and foul? Help please...

No user inform…

In clue #5 the opposite of cloudy could mean clear, Clear St. and the opposite of foul is fair, looked up fair in thesaurus and got prosperity. Is there a Prosperity park on Clear St.?

Welcome bock, Sister!

Clear Avenue.

It has not been in the north west part of St Paul for a while. Langford I believe. Your thoughts?

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 8:03 PM Permalink

yes and then it would be fair ground

also like opposite of extract in clue # 5 referring to pierce (butler) runs right along newell park :)

Fair is the opposite of cloudy. You can have cloudy skies or fair skies.

Yeah, I thought of Clear Ave. but it doesn't tie in with Newell (darn!)

Letta - yes, Clear runs through Prosperity rec center.

I still think that whole clue means nothing what so ever and everyone os looking to deep into this.

once you get 'fair' out of cloudy and foul stop right there... dont pull something else from 'fair'...

fair = fair = fair = fair

Okay, time for a poll...

Who still thinks Newell?

Anyone for Battle Creek?

How about Phalen?

Well, we know it is not at the capital correct/

Maybe it is describing what it can see and smell being that the person is acting like the medallion and writting the clues

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 8:09 PM Permalink

As with "a row of trees" that took you farther, with 'Fair'VIEW, the clue would also have to contain something about a "view." To complete the name.

And it doesn't.

Besides, the antonym for both words doesn't fit.

AM 70% towards NEWELL PARK going by clue 5, and 6

Phalen is my first choice, Newell is second.

From what I've read, I think it is at a park near a golf course on a baseball or softball field. Maybe even hidden near a foul pole.

The way I look at cloudy and foul is this. Cloudy and foul weather would be rainy or snowy. The opposite of that is fair! Though FAIRview borders Newell, the FAIR grounds is within sight of that park.

Kiwi

I agree with you outta my mind and believe that the first clue says not to go near the club house where golfers gather and that if you where to find the medallion there on the golf course you might cause a rebellion. But, again just a thought

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 8:12 PM Permalink
Sister Sister

I don't think Phalen either at this point; I think #1 is saying that the park does not have a golf course, which Phalen does. I would say that right now Newell is the favorite.

Otay. Bedtime for this Bozo. Gotta toddle.

Will catch those o'you here later!

Good luck, good noodling, and good digging!

How often have we heard weathermen use the term fair? Lots.

Well, darn it, I like Conway - even tho it was there last year: opposites attract = one side of the park is named for a woman (Ruth St.), the opposite "Howard", and "Read this well" (as in a book - there is a Library there), and if someone still thinks ace has something to do w/ tennis - it is a stretch, but Wilson Ave borders teh park as well (the brand Wilson)

Kiwi--if you put "everyone is over stretching the clues" in you tag line--you could save yourself a lot of typing!!!!!

Fri, 01/28/2000 - 8:12 PM Permalink
Kiwi

because last years clue directly told you not in or on a golf course what so ever and this years clue is dancing around it all

Very creative Annette, but I just don't think it would be in Conway AGAIN.

has it ever been in the same park back to back?
