MAybe the clue writer identified it as a Rosebush?

Close but so Far

I'm twenty-one. Why? Some folks were saying the rosebud clue has to do with the medallion being hidden in a pasta box. I guess there is a company that uses a rosebud as a symbol???????

They don't put them in trees - too afraid of damage to the trees

was out for about an hour to get a good look at the action. Cherokee Park is completely dug up. only about a couple dozen were there. maybe even fewer. Surprisingly i stopped by mounds to see if anyone was there. there were about 3 times as many people there than there was at CP.

You are one of the smart ones, Mr. Tomski. I don't care where you go, just as long as it isn't Cherokee Park! By the way, EVERYONE HAS 30 SECONDS LEFT TO FOLLOW Mr. Tomski BY LEAVING CHEROKEE PARK!
