Como reportedly has a lot. I think Iris has mostly drive-bys as its hard to make everything fit there.

Rice Park is very small, it has electrical wires running everywhere, half the park is fenced off because of construction, and the rest is being used for the ice sculpting.

and what about Kellog?

Our beloved St. Paul is the place for GOLD=The big lit up pot of gold for the Salvation Army. 2. CIRCULAR thinking can be one way of linking=The Carousel Restaurant is in the Radisson hotel. 3. East and west are a part of our TEST=There is a school right across the street. 4. Playing might put a smile on your face=Kids have their recess on the east end of the park. (Far away from the 'pot of gold') 5. Mettle and fettle=They rhyme with kettle which id what the pot of gold is called. The Salvation Army's Kettle. 6. To escape the HERD=Shepard road is directly on the other side of the hill.

scribe, you've got me convinced; you've extracted quite a bit from the clues, but i'm convinced.

Could a trolley be the old way to travel?

Ok Scribe, not go to www.coolercrew.com and show me in which year the explanations for the clues ever looked anything like that.

P... yeah, supposed to meet up with Scribe, Lelebell, and Pennie after the clue and see what's up. I am sure it will depend on what the dang clue is, right?

Scribe, I haven't seen Pennie on here yet since I talked to her via cell phone after I got home... maybe she is still sloggin through???

Yes, I was at AA today, and AA is where its at, like it or not. But time will tell.

Scribe

I dunno Penni told me that I just thought I'd throw it in there......if it fits GREAT! But I think the evidence is pointing to Mc Murray.....

David,mettle and fettle are journalistic plays on words along with the dual meaning of mettle.....

Wanna bet a drink on that Allison?

Not that Como is looking all that great, but it IS looking a little better than every place else!

I'll bet whatever you want on it. Wait, what are we betting on exactly?

Allison,we are betting a drink at Mcgovern's after the hunt!

Not that anyone believed me when I said it was at Conway two years ago at this point either. Though I feel more sure about this than I did about that.

AA? I was there today, but Clark street doesn't even run by it, unless I was at the wrong park, the park I was at had a baseball field and a sledding hill, is this right? Was I at the right place? I saw a couple of diggers, but I couldn't tell....

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 7:01 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

So the bet is, if its at McMurray Field, I buy you a drink, and if its at AA, you buy me one?

Thats right Allison,are we on?

Allison Wonderland

Clark St. does run into it, but it runs into the back part where the woods are. You were in the right place. So we have Clark St. and Desoto St. To me, that's all you need to know you have the right place.

see, what I am saying. and Kellogg Boulvard is a busy place, PLUS there are train track right below the park, or were at least

King Boreas aka Ian

Scribe, can I get in on that?

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 7:03 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

Scribe, I'm so confident that I will take that bet, even though I don't drink!

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 7:03 PM Permalink
Jordenn

Most certainly, Prymzsphere! I will wait for you to get here.

AW what is east or west clue for AA?

Allison if your right I'll buy you pop all night!LOLOLOL!

BUT YOU WON"T BE!

Hows that for confidence?!!!

I was on Clark Street. It's there.

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 7:04 PM Permalink
Tom Popular

what makes you so sure it is it? No banks...No herds...No nothing AW! and if it is it, it won't be found until at least after tommorow, we don't even know which park it is at, let alone, where in the park it is, AA is a huge park, and i believe it will take maybe 2 more clues to find it there, if it was there. I think tonight's clue will "give away" the location of the park, and how do we even know the Medallion is even out yet?

cool J! Looks like we'll have to help SCribe get a free drink! Hope it's me!

Allison how does Desoto fit into the picture?

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 7:05 PM Permalink
Jordenn

Didn't have a white armband so I wore a white baseball cap... still trying to think of what white I have to wear...

What happens to the bet if it is at neither??? :)

Sat, 01/27/2001 - 7:05 PM Permalink
Allison Wonderland

I believe the east west clue is telling you where in the park, not pinpointing the park itself.
