perhaps it will help if you correctly read this clue.

The official meaning of the clue.

The capital letter S should have stood out. S.E.Hinton is the novelist who wrote the book "That was then this is now" which is a sequel to "The Outsiders". South East From S.E. gives you the area of our search boundaries. Outsiders too mentions it being hidden on the outside border again.

I suppose I should say remember when,
this was that now is then,
Remix that as if you were Eminem,
and bring you closer to medallions den.

The official meaning of the clue.

Remember when= the 2 bars "Spankys" and "Viaduct Inn" as well as the original bridge and stairs no longer exist. If you scrambled correctly you got the movie "That was then this is now" which was filmed locally and had a famous scene under Earl street bridge. Eminem is a character in the movie "M&M", and also about the many 3M buildings that once surrounded this area.
