Clarification from my wife on the workhouse/jail thing.. she was pretty sure the workhouse was a little further away from BC than the jail was from Swede but it may be the other way around... still not a huge difference though.. was also thinking that they wouldn't have brought protesters to the workhouse, but the clue doesn't specify protesters, just "those in detention" so who knows.
about the protesters at Harriet... they actually pitched tents and had planned on staying the night before several were arrested and the rest gave it up..
I'm willing to bite on the translation of the 4th clue as the hiding item, not so much a location. No Fear T-Shirt was not on my radar, but a campaign button certainly was. The button would stick out like a sore thumb, but if its wrapped in a white or off-white t-shirt it will be a LOT harder to find. Lipstick sounds like something that may be hidden WITH the Medallion to throw out one too many leads. Obviously the puck ain't gonna fit in a lipstick case.
Another lead shot down - "Hippychick" was a 1990 dance tune by a group called "Soho" - I cannot find anything Soho related on the east side of the river - anything that comes up in Google is on the Minneapolis Side - and a short street in Woodbury
come to think of it... what if clue 4 isn't about Sarah Palin.. what if it's about Condaleeza... RICE!!!! she could be considered "politically hip" too couldn't she?
This has been fun slogging through all the day's noodles. Made for a good ending to a weird day.
I have not hunted Kellogg - even when the dang medallion was hidden there in that White Castle Box. A group of us were sure it was down on Harriet Island that year and thought all those goofs "up there" were nuts.
The noodles about hamm, buttons, t-shirts and dogs have been entertaining and I think may hold some merit.
"I looked online and there is a Bally's at Sun Ray. That would reference BC's north border (with "detention"marking east, "pig" west and "pitbull" the southern edge)."
I'm 98% convinced it's NOT at BC, which means it probably is at BC.
Is it just me or is it really quiet in here this year? Seems to me in recent years when I've left for over 8 hours I normally came back to more than like 122 new posts in this folder...are we losing people or are people just keeping stuff to themselves more now?
Well, I can tell ya there's not much I've kept to myself... but yeah doesn't seem as active as last year (first year I was postin on here) so who knows?
I noticed that too, L and A. Maybe more are at the PP boards, or did not pay the posting fee (10 bucks for basic, and now they take Credit and Debit Cards and great customer service, so no excuse); I wonder where posters like Oldtimer, Liquor Lady, Artemis the Hunter, Eastside Digger, others like that are.

"detention" too much of a stretch? trying to explore all the possibilities...
Still could be.
Also water and ice for ice castles at phalen
Another street by the detention center is Olive street.
Olive Grove is an Arbor.
May be a stretch, the detention center is still a ways from Swede, but nearby.

talk about bringing history to the fore..
I knew it! It's at Rice. Across from the statue by the River Centre entrance. :litesmile: :wink:
I hope they do it more...
<----------here's your bulldog.
And his name was Herb BROOKS.
Seems to imply it is close enough to the Xcel for those in detention to hear.
I have a question: Did there use to be a jail out where Phalen Park is now
and
a thought. Protestors were arrested on the Marian Street bridge. Rymes with a park Marream. (Spellin may be wrong)

OR I do also like the idea of it being hidden IN something palin/McCain.
