Jake & Mr. Med Hunter's Mid-Term Medallion Mock Hunt

The word "anew" hints that it was a new park for a treasure hunt and "alas" was a hint to "Alice". "The city on seven hills" is "St. Paul" and the medallion was hidden in clay and grass. The second verse was referring to the first letter of the last line of each verse spelling out "CHEROKEES A JOKE"; the "deceptive lines".

The first two lines are referring to the Cathedral and the last two lines refer to the Capitol, which is visible from the treasure site.

Refers to the fact that there are "No Parking" signs on each of the park light poles around the perimeter of the park. Parking on the side of the street adjacent to the park is not allowed; therefore, you have to park on the "side that's rather dark".

Refers to the "West Side" of St. Paul, which is really the southern section of the city. It was renamed "Riverview", but the name never stuck. The original "West Side" was named because traveling North on the river it was the West "bank".

"Stack" refers to the smokestack at the High Bridge power plant. Only the "tip" is visible from the treasure site. The smokestack will also disappear in the next few years as the current coal plant is replaced with a natural gas power plant.

The steel beams of the "High Bridge" form a big "W" if viewed from up or down the river, but are not visible from the treasure site. The "elevated crest" is a ridge and "resides" was a hint that it was a residential building. The "River Ridge Condos" are located between Alice Park and the High Bridge.

The "right hand, left hand" is a reference to the game twister. If you twist the "win if green and lose if red" you would get "Winifred", a street near the park. The last two verses hint at a song by the Pretenders called "My City was Gone" which talks about going back to "Ohio", another street near the park.

A "pair of firsts" and "gold" refers to the house at 11 Alice Court and "the floor that doesn't exist" refers to 13 Alice Court. The treasure was hidden in a flowerbed in the park between these two addresses.

The 3 in the first line and each of the lines starting with an "M" was a hint at 3M. In roman numerals "M" equals 1000, which is reference to the 3M companies, which is visible from the park. The reference to Map Guy refers to the fact that Alice Park is not the "Treasure Hunter's Guide". It also states that if you had caught onto the "Cherokees a joke" part of the first clue, you are in the wrong place.

Refers to the TV show "The Honeymooners" is which a common phrase was; "One of these days Alice! Pow, right in the kisser". The bus driver was Ralph Kramden whose wife's name was Alice.

"Through the looking glass" was a book by "Lewis Carroll" who also wrote "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". The main "character" in each book was "Alice". Louis and Carroll are street names from the 1963 treasure hunt. It also hints at the flowerbed in which the medallion was hidden.

Pinpoints the location in the flowerbed in Alice Park and also describes the size of the medallion and the fact that it's camouflaged and on the ground.
