Cheryl - I'm here. Thinking Como is a real possibility - which you would not have heard me saying earlier today.

IS there any proof that this is the right clue?

I don't really like the linking city thing, but I do like the idea of Hidden Falls. I don't see why people need to get all mad whack with eachother, the clues fit both places.

The point is that the WPA crews originally built Como Park. The reference to "deal" in clue 5 is kind of a strange usage, and could point to Como if the WPA was under The New Deal

I'm still not 100% sure we have the park, but 99.9% ain't bad. Now if my boss will let me off work......

REASONS FOR HIDDEN FALLS!!!!:

1. in one of the clues it said "Out of sight" aka Hidden!

2. Look at that circular thinking clue. Start at the C start drawing a circle to the I continue drawing to the T then finish at the Y you get CITY Linking City which hidden falls links st paul and minneapolis/ EAST and WEST!

3. Big Park and the base is Airport, which is right next to the park.

  • *****I remember from a past year of 3 statues there, anyone know of whom they are of?******

    jc, you're stretching the city anagram way, way too far for this one. and the airport is on the other side of fort snellng from the park.

    There are military trucks out in the lot by the conservatory and they were deployed to help with the ice maze on the ball fields.
