What is the significance of "gates ajar"?

That worries me too. We may end up in some small park at clue 10, or some non-park public space.

So much snow to dig through and who wants to shovel snow unless you know where to dig?

If you think of a mansion, there are often gates or a gateway to enter the property. Some of us are thinking the gates ajar could be the gate or door.

They do mention neighborhoods, so this could be an old school hunt where it's hidden on a boulevard somewhere.

The last time it was on public ground - not a park or rec center - was 1989 at the Capital Mall.

3 and 4 say "far" "afar" plus the Ramsey County reference (not park like OT noodled); maybe rules out Como?

L'Etoile Du Nord (star of the north) Immersion School moved and is now on Bush near Phalen. The old building is now a German immersion school.

Would they really use that again after all the flak they got last time?

I don't know OT.

I have to believe this is a new clue writer. Maybe the newbie doesn't know about the flak from the previous issue with the French Immersion school.

Could be. Or Gateway Drive.

I want another clue! This is frustrating!

The German Immersion school is using the Church [St. Andrew's] as the auditorium for the school with an enclosed walkway from the school. [not related to clues other than use of a religious [souls, my Father's Mansion[s]) reference in the clues. Would be ironic if some German clues came out...

This is more poetic than the other clues. Sounds like a quote. Religious , memorial plaque...

Sounds like something you would see on a plaque.

Gateway Trail was actually the only fall back theory we had but it started to fall apart with old sandy and this clue pretty much nailed it's coffin. It's in suburbs and neighborhoods and St. Paul, crosses White Bear, runs through North St. Paul and though it's a stretch, the N St Paul Snowman could have been the "he" as they had to do some work to the ground around it to prevent it from falling over when they did the construction on 36.
