Well the famous name doesn't refer to highland,but do you think that could be referring to what to find it in? a home is a dictionary, and they have pocket sized

dictionarys???

Jane : There is the intersection of Fir and Oakridge there, as well as Elmwood near by. The past and new could be related to the changing of the park's name. Any

further ideas?

Rock- I see where you got Saints Fi from but could they mean the actual Saints Baseball field? The say it's in a park- a ballPARK? I don't know, random thought....

Door means entrance or passage, not just a wooden door. The walking bridge decorates the entrance of highland park.

Scott-welcome to the insane world of medallion hunting! I don't think they would hide it in a parking lot - those tend to get plowed and oops there goes the treasure.

I am new to all of this, but, does the park that they speak of have to be a park with trees and grass and the such? When people go to popular activities, don't they

usually drive to them? Don't they park their cars? Wouldn't meters be lined up like trees? Aren't the rows and spaces numbered? When you are in the parking lot

aren't you away from the action? Just a few thoughts from a novice.
