I'm back. I've decided clue 6 means nothing more than to say there are train tracks nearby which would be about all you can really expect a clue to say at this point.

I still think that it's too obvious, all the clues fit Newell so good!

I honesly think we are to the point we CAN'T talk about these clues any more until #7. I mean 7,256 posts on 6 clues....what else is there to say?!?!?!?!?!?

clue in #5, opposite of cloudy and foul = fair and opposite of extract = pierce

fair(view) and pierce(butler) intersect at the corner of newell park

then throw in the anagram from clue 6 well-trained (which shouldnt be spelled that way) ----> tri-ad-newell (reminiscent to chair-o-key in 199-)

just some thoughts that have passed over the last 2 hours

Ares -- got that right! What are your thoughts on a park? Got any you are pretty positive on?

No, actually I had a headache and went to lie down for a while but as for my theory, it still seems attack is an odd word to use. Some theories I came up with was that attack meant the Soo Line, or that it referred to the Battle of Midway, but I didn't think either of those were sufficiently plausible. Then I thought, maybe they're not trying to tell you the exact location with each clue. Maybe its just meant to say there are train tracks visible from the park.

O.K. fellas (and chicks too) I'm outta here for now, I'll check in when the next clue comes out. Is it at 11:30 or midnight?

I dunno Terry, but this year seems to be more frustrating than years past because its hard to figure what the clues mean. There are a few obvious points, like towers and such, but a lot of it is vague pieces that can be interpreted a bunch of ways...

has the medallion ever not been found?

those medalling kids....i was saying earlier today that you could pretty much stand in ANY park and make these clues fit...frustration factor is starting to kick my ass a little bit.

Severs -- are you a Newell guy or you think somewhere else?

I remember it did last year. We didn't get a clear street name until then. The man of fame was pretty hard to pick out.

Once again, Step, check your email.

think all clues fit at newell, yes, but i believe they fit at other parks too, like phalen, i just think ..so far newell makes the most sense without stretching things too much.

People say there's 75 people at Newell, and they have a fire going.

Allison--oddly, I picked up on Babe Ruth last year as the man of fame, only because I thought 9-5-4 referred to a baseball play--without that incorrect inference, I wouldn't have got it. Serendipity rules sometimes.
