I wonder why the History thread is staying at 1499 even after adding a post?

My computer says it's #200

#200 was always correct but I still see 1499 for the main history thread. (even after this post)
There's 2 ways into this thread: PPWCRC/History/SPH and PPWCRC/SPWCMH/MISC/SPH
I wonder if that has something to do with it. THX?

I think it's because there are 4 discussions in the folder. But it is still at 1499

ClueMaster, the main "History" thread only contains a link to the "St Paul History" thread. So, it's not really considered part of the "History" thread. It's considered part of the "Misc" folder in the "St Paul Winter Carnival" main folder.

Make sense?

I know about the poor farm growing up. My parents talked about it all the time. As in, "You're going to put us to the poor farm!" ;)

And speaking of old cemeteries. There's a small, very old cemetery tucked away on the bluff near Fleming Field in So. St. Paul.

hastings pond showed up on my 1950s streetcar rails map. I was wondering what it was, looks like it was located south of my place, possibly around a mile.

Re: East side St Paul place names


<XBODY>Thank you for sending along these names.  They are exactly what I am looking for.  Right now, we have our grandchildren staying with us, which is all consuming.  When I have a little more time, I will follow up on your names, and write you further.  Thanks again for sending them along.

Mine does too.  And I fixed it so it stays on so my cat doesn't freak out while she's in there.
