Linwood is interesting. It has Pleasant Street as a border. The clues make two references to pleasurable or something of that sort. Also, there are train tracks nearby.

looks like the clue talk took a bad turn somewhere, any thoughts on the pyramid clue?

Sorry for the "dumb" comments folks, the messages don' seem to be posting on my screen as fast as I though they would. I'll try to keep it intelligent.

DOUBLE DIVISION - Could be a 4-square court in the playground at Mounds.

I was at lyndwood today not a soul around all of the trees and benches have been searched and dug around. There are woods but nothing relating to water, some of the clues fit most don't.

Has the medallion ever been hidden in downtown STP? I am still leaning to CP, but inquiring minds just need to know. Thanks!

Rumor has it that it was once hidden in downtown St. Paul. There was a ton of damage to private property during the search, and it was as a result of that that it is now only hidden on public property

I believe that there is a small group of buildings shaped like pyramids near Beaver Lake.

Is this Water Cooler Chat room supposed to scroll as messages are posted. If not, what button should I press to just view the other messages without posting one of my own?

what ever happend to Beavis?

If the clue tonight doesnt pinpoint the park I think I am going

to flip over! It never takes this long to find the park. It

has to be so obvious we cant even see it. If it is at Cherokee

it sounds as if that park has been turned upside down! You'd think

it would be found by now. I think we are all being fooled!

Were definitely avoiding the topic of the clues themselves. We're going to have to sign off if noone can add any insight...

The medallion is in Mounds park out in the middle of no-where waiting for the clues to pin-point its location. Every clue fits. Once again, "kids like to zoom" is childs road.

As I said before, "rosebud" is the name of the sled in Citizen Kane, There has to be a sliding hill near ground zero.

You know, like some burst of revelation about the exact location of the medallion.

Josh, "rosebud" is also anything reddened or pinkish in color!
