2014 - Como Park

Like. I think you first mentioned the light rail and the Fitzgerald Theater yesterday, and it got me thinking outside the box.

I like it, but something in the beginning of lines 3&4 seem off. The rest reads very well.

I know it's not right because site's is possessive.

They just got done remodeling the old train station

there's too many -- some, will, once

not enought nouns

Here is a link for where the old street cars were.

What once was old is new once more,

Which some will cheer and some deplore.

Some will rail; some beam euphoric.

But there's no denying the site's historic.

Trolley zone, como.

East of Lexington I tell ya.

nice.

Some will cheer and beam euphoric

denying what once was historic

some will rail ...deplore

----------------------------------

denying rail will more some no some

once deplore the was which what cheer

historic there's is some beam once will

euphoric site's but new old and some

...aw to heck with it :goofy:

I like downtown too particularly after I came up with the whole Sandy Pappas thing. But, tonight's really sounds like Como.

BTW, when Pitts was displayed at the Capitol, it was likely in the old location of the Capitol, which is near the public housing place today. So, maybe if it is downtown there's public land around there.

Lets not forget the trolley in the west picnic grounds.

Good one "Like" :smile:

If I'm not mistaken, right across the street. Ramsey County Public Health, entire block.

for sure

...but I have been wrong before!! 2003 Harriet comes to mind

What once was old: street cars.

Is new once more: light rail

is new once more: not found in Como since 2003

Thanks Leelabell, great point on the capitol. It helps my Capitol Grounds claim earlier make tons more sense to me now. That's history I didn't know.

I think this clue was all about trolleys, light rail, old and new.

I am going to head for the sheets. Early day at work tomorrow.

what's new once more: old trolley is now lightrail. got rid of trolleys, but now going back to the same mode of transportation

the same thought! :litesmile:

lol: you, me and Terry all at once!

Is it just me, or are there an uncanny amount of words that rhyme with "ore" in this hunt? Not sure what to make of that, but I have some thought. Anybody else running with this idea?

union depot but seems like a trick...

Trolley Zone: houses exist within the center of the map/section.

so could be a few things...

trolleys/light rail

union depot

could be the new pool at como

could the the newer ball fields -(astro turf vs. grass)

or the japanese gardens

What is new was once old (reverse it to make it even more for Como) The phrasing will hopefully clear this upÂ… like mud.

The Soaring Eagle, an exhilarating new zip line attraction, gives visitors to Como Town an amazing new perspective of the park and zoo from 85 feet in the air! The Soaring Eagle is scheduled to open early-to-mid June at Como Town. The Soaring Eagle will take visitors in reverse 420 feet from one end of the amusement park to the top of the ride 85 feet in the air for a panoramic bird’s eye view of Como Town, Como Zoo (including the new Gorilla Forest) and Como Park, and then riders will soar back to the starting point while enjoying the spectacular view. The Soaring Eagle double seat comfortably and safely accommodates two riders – children and adults–who can experience the attraction together.

flooding the thread with just an idea off of soar

souls to soar may mean the USS Swordfish (SS-193)monument. Lists names of dead. Seems odd that Como got this memorial, I mean what's the link?

it's in Trolley Zone

The other plaque memorializes the fifty-one other U.S. Navy submarines lost during World War II. That's a lot of lost souls soaring. Lots of names. Sad.

I always learn stuff in the Hunt.

Waiting for:

CheerÂ…

OnceÂ…

MoreÂ…

OldÂ…

True. there is an old trolley bridge (spanless trolley bridge) over Beula Lane and a former trolley car path over by where it was found 2003 (Beula Zone). Dedicated bench over off Jessamine w a Nelson Mandela quote, he has been in the news.

Also found there in 1956

I could be making the park fit the clues. :pbpt:

In case it hasn't yet...

I agree that it is about the streetcar station/ trolley zone but I don't think the new once more refers to light rail but to the controversy over St. Paul's plan to make a new streetcar run along seventh. I think this clue= old streetcar station.

Funny I was looking for the controversy over the Streetcar issue and came up with 2013 photos of the Selby Street Car line and tunnel I mentioned before.

Here is what the entrance to the tunnel looks like today - from a great!! site/blog I have followed before - used it last year for Cherokee/BV Nature Trail site photo noodling. Also had photos of the terrain and s few homeless folk who lived there last august...

I can't help think that there is a hidden math item here.

They have some 4 times - some/sum... sum=4

once is 2 times

2x4=8 this will be the 8th time it's been at Como.

OK ...I'm gonna take a pill now. :goofy:

Morning

There are a few youtube videos showing the ride. This one shows people on the ride then shows what you'd see if you were on it yourself.

oops

casey was shot with a tranquilizer and returned to his cage

I've been noodling on the idea that Clue 4 is actually a reference to Gabe's.

Is it far away or where you've been?

If fooled, just begin again.

Certainly a lot of Hunter's starting at Gabe's who have been heading to the wrong park. Not sure they are gonna stray too far now.

when posting link please click the "url" button in the 2nd bar below the posting box and insert the link into it. Then type whatever post you want.

Other wise it screws up the page display and makes all the posts below yours run off the page. Thank you.

Good morning! So, clue 6 at face value to me says it is talking about light rail. Used to have street cars, now a new light rail. Some love the idea, others do not, and use of the actual word rail as double meaning almost seems too obvious. But I do not know how to fit light rail in with Como Park unless it just references the historic fact of the street cars of past.

So trying to not overthink, would the area be the fire pits and picnic table section off Horton and Hamline?

Another thing at the park that was old and now new is the pool. Not sure who would be upset about that though. Wish I could dig but glad I'm in warm weather. :wink:
