Clues
Clue 1
Published Date
Sunday, June 22, 2014, 7:00 PM
I’m a leisurely stroll up the river solidly droll. The courts and the lanes and chalets.
Thinking west of yon parkway will send you the dark way. I’m so close to the neighbor’s dismay.
Want some cash for your pocket? Then you’ll just have to rock it! You’re seeking the grotto and piling.
Move a rock. Give me air. A Shylock of your hair ? That good latitude keeps the kids smiling.
The official meaning of the clue.

I’m a leisurely stroll (generally close to the sidewalk) up the river solidly droll (a coy reference to Rocky Creek). The courts and the lanes and chalets (roadways and homes).
Thinking west of yon parkway (Parkway Drive NW) will send you the dark way (go east). I’m so close to the neighbor’s dismay (Glendale Hills Park is secluded and small, so closer to homes than most parks).
Want some cash for your pocket? Then you’ll just have to rock it (hidden under the big rocks)! You’re seeking the grotto and piling (two piled, smaller rocks hid the treasure).
Move a rock (visible, but a rock could be moved to see the Treasure better). Give me air. A Shylock of your hair (meant to set up the next element using Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice” as a physical reference to Venice Lane and then east)? That good latitude (at approximately the same latitude to Venice Lane is Northern Heights Park and Glendale Hills Park) keeps the kids smiling (kids play in Glendale Hills Park).

Clue 2

Do the bard, do the brass! Hit a ball in short grass! Twenty-fourteen is Your Destination!
Twixt the Jewel and the Ag there’s a place I can tag as my spot for your search consternation.
Where the trees have amassed and the echo of past is not louder than current aspiring.
I reside with both names and if finding’s your game keep searching for your heart’s desiring.

TRADE MART BONUS CLUE

In my view, line and sky where the dwellers go by. Get me near rocks or field stones.
Though control gives me sight you can’t stay here all night. Reflection can also be cones.
Supreme is your work if released where I lurk. Without you how empty my world.
Sometimes you may tally more than one little valley. My hiding place cannot be curled.

The official meaning of the clue.

Do the bard, do the brass! Hit a ball in short grass! Twenty-fourteen is Your Destination! (all of the first line’s elements simply mention Rochesterfest events, from start to end – Bard indicates the first event and brass indicates the final event.)
Twixt the Jewel and the Ag (between Emerald Hills Park and Silver Lake, where Ag is the elemental symbol for silver) there’s a place I can tag as my spot for your search consternation.
Where the trees have amassed (Northern Heights Park is full of trees) and the echo of past is not louder than current aspiring (the term echo is used in other city streets and areas).
I reside with both names (both Glen and Dale are part of the park name) and if finding’s your game keep searching for your heart’s desiring.

TRADE MART BONUS CLUE
In my view, line and sky (part of the NW city skyline is visible from Glendale Hills Park) where the dwellers go by. Get me near rocks or field stones (the large rocks in the park).
Though control (the speed tables on Northern Valley Drive NE) gives me sight you can’t stay here all night. Reflection can also be cones (the traffic control indicators are reflective posts, but could also be traffic cones).
Supreme is your work if released where I lurk. Without you how empty my world. (This element takes some knowledge of music history – Diana Ross and the Supremes released the single “My World is Empty Without You” in December, 1965, and the address on the Glendale Hills Park sign is “1265”)
Sometimes you may tally more than one little valley (glen and dale are synonyms for a small valley). My hiding place cannot be curled (under large rocks which obviously are quite solid).
