if the mansion door is the west gate of como, beckoning from afar may be the stone bridge and you have to pass the soaring eagles ride to get there (east side)
In 1936, E. E. Englebert bought two lots of the former estate on Mississippi River Boulevard which included the original massive brick and ornamental iron entrance gate to the mansion. He donated the gate to Como Park and in 1937 the Works Progress Administration had it reinstalled as the west gate to Como Park at the intersection of Hamline Avenue and Midway.
Another survivor of Stonebridge also relocated to Como Park, the namesake of the Frog Pond, the sculpture of a granite bullfrog.
From there you see the whole expanse [vision causing soul to soar] of the Lake and the Pavilion ...which looks like a mansion.
I still like the Rainbows [3 large ones] on the Rainbow Child Care Center [re-start at the beginning] with the sidewalks, making an arrowhead in front of a stone like monument or headstone with a large Rainbow on it, that are pointing to Como Avenue which leads to the East gate.
They also point to Front and Calvary Cemetery on Front as Front and Como actually cross each other like an X [the former drugstore that nestles in the 2 streets as a triangular building in the cross-point of the X, later a Pizza place, is now an Antique store and furniture refinishing]...And Calvary has rather large ornate gates ...[If fooled, just begin again.] The gates to the cemetery fit the concept of the Gates of Heaven and "In my Father's House are many mansions..."
The correct Greek word translates to "Dwelling places" but the popular Latin translation/usage is mansions.
Does not account for the "moving from star to star" :chagrin:
(The fist thing I thought when I read that line was "paparazzi". The old Pizza triangle has moved across the "X" to Como/Dale corner and is a "John's" pizza
Just realized the 3 streets, Como, Front and Dale form a star at their intersecting * :ooh:
the other intersection in the area that does that criss-cross thing sort of like a star is the intersection of Como, Wheelock, Victoria, Maryland. So if you moved from the Dale/Front/Como intersection west along Como, you would come to the next "star" intersection.
I don't think Casey was shot ...he walked back to his pit by himself. The footprints were painted on the sidewalks for some time after - Casey's famous "stroll"
Green Jeans was on Captain Kangaroo ...Casey had Roundhouse Rodney
Just dug up all around West Gate.....nada-- but I did get plenty of fame as that intersection was quite busy at one point! Perhaps somewhere in that area though-- Very helpful connections though-- I am convinced it's at Como, at least until the next clue.
The theater within the McNally Smith Musical College is called Historic Theater, rainbow flags on Wabasha bridge, Old Science Museum is new Scientology, St. Paul Public Housing Agency, Two historic churches, Green Line rail star to star, Fitzgerald theater: All within a two block radius. I may be going completely mad, but I'm not really even TRYING to make the clues fit anymore, they just are (even scrambled) Lots of public land right there!
Either that, or I've already gone over the edgeÂ… just like I do every year!
My observation:
Original Japanese Garden:
Opened in 1905 on the northern
shore of Cozy Lake
Maybe that is part of clue 1-- mostly referring to the NORTH and the GREEN parts of Clue 1
From the splendid mansion's door
A vision causing soul to soar.
if the mansion door is the west gate of como, beckoning from afar may be the stone bridge and you have to pass the soaring eagles ride to get there (east side)
or the "opening below" bridge from 2001?

FROGPOND!

I sure hope tonight's clue has more meat to it.
once deplore the was which what cheer
historic there's is some beam once will
euphoric site's but new old and some
once deplore the was which what cheer
historic there's is some beam once will
euphoric site's but new old and some
 :grin:
deplore and more
cheer euphoric
there's some rail
old historic
new site's
I can't get full lines. Only what words might make sense together
But old site's rail was once historic
............ will deplore
............ denying no more
It's funny that we are interpreting the clue without a full line figured out from the scrambled somes we were given.
I think that used to be a train station!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Star_%28train%29
The street car used to also run past Swede Hollow and through Phalen - all over the city.
Either that, or I've already gone over the edgeÂ… just like I do every year!
The beam which some cheer is euphoric
But rail was once old and historic
What some new site's some will deplore
Once some will; there's denying no more.
