Thanks. I sure hope I don't end up looking the fool after tonight's clue.

Yup. I've been trying to do some work - but I keep popping back in here.

I want to try to get out of work early tomorrow. I just need to meet with someone in the morning and then get a couple loose ends tied up. If everything goes perfect, I could be done before dark.

I'm sure you won't! I'm feeling a bit clueless, LOL! Hopefully the next few clues will make the park clearer.

Something poped to mind on todays clue. Old street names or old streets that no longer excist. Aging Brett = old.The old news on Brett was he got a chair as gift.

Hey all. Have been stuck at Highland until today's clue. Now I'm on to Harriet.

Brett: Mississippi

Off the math: Plato

To pay for this prime location: the now defunct Taste of MN after charging admission.

Just my my current thoughts at least for another 90 minutes!

Don't know if this has been posted yet, men who sold liquor along the rivers were called river rats. Their whiskey's main ingredients were turpentine and sugar. My grandpa called it rot gut. Customers didn't even have to get out of their boats to buy it.

I like the Favre = Mississippi noodle. I also saw someone post on the crazy boards about a bunch of roads at Highland being closed = Dammed. As for original noodles, I got nothin'

The same could be said for Euclid. One of the rec centers is on Euclid.

Interesting you should say that. My grandfather had a terrible ulcer. He had to have a third of his stomach removed because of it.

Just the road that leads back to where the walking bridge was taken down. Can still walk back there,it's not a construction zone though.

I was noodling an idea for a horse polo grounds references associated with the parks - unfortunately there's not much outside of the Polo Grounds which were at Fort Snelling.

I came across this little gem of a story about ICE POLO as a sport often associated with the Winter Carnival...

Not super-relevant to the clues, but still an interesting read.

Turpentine and sugar... :barf: I knew that about selling booze from the caves and not getting out of your boat. But not the Turpentine and sugar

I am resolved to read the new clue and head for the sheets. I'll wait for the video for tomorrow. Those creep me out and I want to have nice dreams tonight of finding that medallion - or at least being in the right park when its found.

I'm waiting too. Not sure about the videos either. I understand about the creeping out part -- but it's like driving past a car wreck, ya gotta slow down to see.

HOPE this next one points me in a more solid direction.

If you read the Wikipedia entry on Shaggy, it talks about his frequent use of weed. I don't remember that in the cartoon. :smile:
