Personally I don't think he would put it downtown...he wants the hunt to go on long..til the end...that means hundreds of people and lots of cars....downtown would be a MESS!

I sometimes wonder if the people that hid it come into the water cooler and just read what people say LOL. I bet they do

It is of F. Scott Fitzgerald who wrote the Great Gatsby. On the stone wall near the statue is the plaque about him.

It would be humorous to read all these ideas as you sat back knowing where it truly was.

I believe it can be downtown because the very 1st clue says to Prepare to be Bold~who would think it would be in a small d.t. park? that would be bold thinking!

I sigh over Regg. He knows where it is, yet is going to wait for the paper to make sure. Every year we see people like Regg. Every year those of us who are well vested in this area usually ignore what they say. Yet Regg seems to snag the attention of the others who don't know better. They listen to Regg say that he really doesn't know but is still sure. They learn better. It's a never ended cycle that I could do without... but the few good minds that meet here can be found together nowhere else.

Inspector: Not at all. Why?

Jake: Tomorrow there will be another, and the day after, and the day after. And it will happen again next year, and the year after, and the year after. I complain about it once a year. :)

    I guess as a person who uses this kind of technology more often than the regular guy or gal, I have developed a few hot spots that I can't very easily tolerate.

    Has anyone made a strong bank reference yet? I had thought it might be in a bank envelope but it's fairly well drawn out that the dove box is much more prominent. I haven't tied up the newly loosened ends yet.

    Matt, I have news for you.... I network computers 50-60 hours a week so don't use that as an excuse to be rude. Some people have patience, and some go off the deep end. Now lets drop this and talk about where this thing is hidden (No pun intended Regg)

    Just a little funny, I have five children and we all went treasure hunting with grandpa and grandma last night. The children ages 2,4,4,6,7 each have their own shovels and were having a blast! They were finding treasure too!!! (Mom was throwing in candy when they were not looking.) Each is now hooked. Here are the future treasure hunters of tommorrow.

    Oh shoot. Now we'll never figure it out. I'm sorry, Regg, I didn't mean to make you wield your awesome power and use it against your own kin. Please forgive me and allow me to take the brunt of the punishment, just don't tell me. I wouldn't listen anyway.

    I'm sorry. Long day today. And this dreck doesn't help.

    I'm glad someone is having fun. What the medallion hunt should be about is taking your kids out, them enjoying it and having a blast, as well as yourself. Not being on here arguing back and forth like little kids.
