No Westside ... I believe you on the hours but that is not what the clue means...at least according to my theory...

Hey Dino! I'm not sold on Conway....yet anyway. If nothing takes me away from it, I'll be back on the Capitol Mall.

PhillipD., sorry I didn't respond sooner. I am stuck with Phalen right now. Battle Creek and Highland are close seconds. Thinking about the Conway park that is

getting some mentions too.

Diva Digger - I agree with you. It seems like a lot of people are leaving out the NAME part, and I think that is important. Which park do you think it's at?

Oh you didn't know?

dino, not only are a lot of people with you, a lot of people are before you. Someone said Conway was packed around 9:00.

I think too many people are taking sign too literally it may not be a sign like an object, it may be a sign like an omen

Forget the Wilson-thingy. I've been shown the error o'my ways. Way too far away from BC.

Sorry. Don't know my streets well, and that really jumped out at me.

Bock to the drawing board fur me!!! <g>

Outta. Otay! Gotcha! It really helps folks if you say things like, "Well, green... This is how I figure out the numbers." Like refer to whatever triggered your input.

Keeps folks from like pulling out their hair wondering if their post was read.

NOTE!!!

Something you all must remember - this is NOT live chat. Ittiz a bulletin

board. Many posts can pass from your original one to when the intended reads

it. Ittiz very helpful if you include the person's name you're addressing in your

post.

You are now being returned to your schedule posting...

emmy & hannah's mom.... I have been stuck on Phalen too but looked at Newell last night. Thursday went into the back part of phalen. behind the gates you can get

back their if you go threw the boat launch area on the other side of the park gates open over there. I looked all over the west side for a memorial or something but

can't find much. but i have spent much of my time there too

Otta,

I agree with you too. I think the "Valuable Sign" is a $, like $10,000.

I am not sure what park it is at, but I have been to Newell, Merriam, Linwood & Highland, however each seems to fit a piece, but none seem to fit the whole

The valuable sign could be the big #1 on top of the First National Bank Bldg. downtown.

I'm beginning to think the question should be why not? Conway, Newell, Highland, Battle Creek, Kellogg, Capitol Mall, Linwood, Merriam, Phalen or any other

parks in the city.

Anybody try Taylor? It's a newly named park in the south east part of St. Paul.

Cold, what's up with the Taylor bit? How new izzit it? Can we read about it some place - story in the paper, etc.???

As Ter asked, x-streets would allow us to bring it up on a map.

But, Ter... If ittiz new, bet as a park ittiz not on a map yet...

Went to merriam today. not many of the clues fit. I think you can stretch them to fit almost any of them. The thing about newall is that it's near a police station which

might refer to clue#1 where it says "caught" and "scene" as in crime scene? May be a stretch. But it does have a school and hockey rink ("goal")etc. Wish that clue

would come out NOW!!!

Oh you didn't know?

The "do not leave VALUEABLES in car" sign was posted at about 7 of the parks I visited today. I wouldn't put much stock in that theory.

Anybody ever think that the well in #4 refers to the Hopewell burial mound @ Mounds Park? Also perhaps the "line of trees" meant the tree maze @ como by the

BIG SNOW SLIDE! There were many historical names in the tree maze if U read the story. Just a thought or two.
