Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

excitement contained. lol!
actually any snow that accumulates tonote and tomorrow may actually be around next weekend. considering the highs are s'pposed to be in the 20s all week.
Hardly snowing here. I doubt if it will be hidden tonite. Too little snow.
If pitched out, would make those sct-sct-sct-sct kind'a skidding marks that things make in snow, you know what I mean? And anybuddy would be able to tell that whatever made those marks was put down/pitched/whatever since this little snow fall.
Is he gong to by one? Does anyone know what the name of the new street that is going to go from 35-E (South of Maryland) to Phalen? I thought it was Phalen Blvd but I not sure.
Okay, okay - I think I remember *something* about it now. They recently took down an old grain elevator silo where it's going, if I'm right. Near the new Arcade YMCA/Johnson elementary.
The description in Steve's book about Lewis Park talks about this old grain silo. If ittiz the one that Mom says was taken down so this road could be made, I want to change/correct/update my book.
I'm thinking the old grain elevator taken down for that road probably is not the one seen from Lewis Park - but I could be wrong. I would think I'd notice that as I go through that area fairly often...though not so much lately.
Lewis Park is north of the NSP plant on Rice. That also makes it north of the railroad tracks in the North End area of the city.
The new Phalen Blvd. starting at 35E and Pennsylvania (just south of the tracks) and heading mostly east wouldn't share the view probably of the same grain elevator.
Just an intresting little thing...My Dad is an egineer, he works on the tracks that go right under payne, arcade. He said they posted a notice to watch for extra people traffic from 1/20/02-2/4/02. THIS MEANS NOTHING TO WHERE IT WILL BE HIDDEN, but it shows the hunt is getting more attention!
The last I heard, they weren't sure where the Phalen Corridor was going to run. 3M own some of the land they originally wanted, and 3M ain't willing to part with it. So, it may be rerouted further north. In which case, it would be directly south of my house. T'would be cool.
East side snow report: About 1/2 inch on the ground, and it's snowing as we speak. The PPress today said chances of snow all week! Gonna go watch the news quick. bbl

Green- it isnt going to be burried in the snow most likely. It will probably be in a dirt clumb or something like that.
Just another reason for it not to be hid tonite. A brown dirt clump on *top* o'this little bit o'snow? Dead give away it was placed recently.
And... by the way, all...
Frost Lake Rec center is in "the city"....
I think that it is already hidden. Probably last night sometime...
Green - does jake just need a recovery disk or the whole CD?
I hid it during the first little pasting...
Has anyone taken a poll over how crappy the last few clues were last year? Or does it matter how weak the correlation was?
Somebody call Mulder, it's a Rex file...
Snow Mommy, I'm not sure. I *think* he's on his way to get a CD - don't know what kind - that will fix things.
I'm sure if it doesn't work, I'll hear from him again...
Can I get bock with you, Snow Mommy?
Is he gong to by one? Does anyone know what the name of the new street that is going to go from 35-E (South of Maryland) to Phalen? I thought it was Phalen Blvd but I not sure.
phalen blvd is correct, snow mommy.
Yes Green, let me know I might be able to help. I m by Phalen in case you do need it.
Ares Do you know when that's going to be done?
Where exactly *IS* Phalen Blvd. going to be? Does it already exist and will be renamed? Or are they making a new street?
as far as i know, its completion is several years off.
I guess it goes down some ld railroad tracks and by the old breweries MAYBE. It's mostly or all new construction.
Snow Mommy, he was going to borrow a CD, but he's not sure if it will work. So, he still may need assistance.
new street. running from 35e & penn ave. running to the general area of the vento trail up toward prosperity ave and johnson pkwy. roughly.
I'm going to toddle away for awhile. The Brown would like to play a little Boggle.
Hope to be bock later. But if not, SCDs to each of you!
Okay, okay - I think I remember *something* about it now. They recently took down an old grain elevator silo where it's going, if I'm right. Near the new Arcade YMCA/Johnson elementary.
just south of it, mom.
Sounds like it will run right on top of, or parallel with the Vento trail...
Mom...
Hang on, I'm looking.
This is what I found about it. http://www.stpaul.gov/depts/ped/pci/pci.html
I'm not gong anywhere
DANG IT.
I *just* read about a grain silo seen from one o'the parks. Am wondering if the one torn down was that one.
But can I find the reference to it??? NNNNOOOOOOO!
That link seems to have very old information on it.
Mom, that grain elevator you were talking about? Is it near Lewis Park? And did the top have a staggered edge, like it was a castle?
swede hollow, green?
I don't know. Mom??? You still here?
The description in Steve's book about Lewis Park talks about this old grain silo. If ittiz the one that Mom says was taken down so this road could be made, I want to change/correct/update my book.
it was the grain elevator at the stroh's brewery that was taken down for phalen boulevard.
scd's to all, talk at ya tomarrow
I don't know where Lewis park is, lest I could answer....
The grain elevator that came down was close to Arcade and Sims. A little bit South and West from there, I suppose.
I think it was just west and maybe a bit north of Swees Hollow.
Good Evening!
I'm thinking the old grain elevator taken down for that road probably is not the one seen from Lewis Park - but I could be wrong. I would think I'd notice that as I go through that area fairly often...though not so much lately.
Lewis Park is just a block west of Rice Street near the area of the Capitol.
That's a bit too west then, is it not?
It also says that this grain elevator is a viw to the south from Lewis Park.
So, that wouldn't be rite, would it?
thank you for those pics, mom!
I'd very much doubt you could see THAT grain elevator from Lewis Park.
You're welcome - the Mpeg video is pretty cool, too!
Lewis Park is north of the NSP plant on Rice. That also makes it north of the railroad tracks in the North End area of the city.

Thanks, Mom! I bet ittiz the one you *could* have seen from Swede Hollow, tho! I'll check it later.
Hay, Ter! How's the driving out there? We had sleet here before the snow...
Well, thanks, guys! I'm gonna let The Brown play some Boggle. Hope to be on later if I don't snooze off!
SCDs to you all!
green i know its the one that could have been seen from swede hollow. guarantee it.
Driving is typical of a snowfall. We didn't have far to go so it's okay.
SCD's Green
Thanks, Ter. Thanks, Ares. Gonna update my Steve book!
Later!
