Trees in a line is Wood Row Wilson - Wilson St. Could Thomas E. Dewey be the man of fame in clue 6?

Allison - that's about the time we had headed home. Too bad...but we will meet up again somewhere, sometime.

It seems there are still a stubborn few out there who think the medallion is not at Conway. Remember though, no matter how well, how perfect you can make one of

the clues fit, you have to fit all 10 to get in the right park.

If we don't want to be outdone (clue 1) could we look inside a building?

A lot of people think Babe Ruth is the famous man. Personally I think it is Henry Hudson because a Hudson Guide is something a hunter would find useful. But both

streets are at or very near Conway. I don't think they'd be referring to anyone else.

I actually wondered for a while if the revolutionary concept for which you had to be an iconoclast might be that the medallion is hidden indoors, but since neither the

rec center or the library has 24 hour access, I doubt it at this point.

Read the top of this page which says that the medallion is not hidden on public grounds whose name is not followed by the word park!? Conway in the phone book

Conway used to be called Conway Heights Park.

Yes Sarah, but in our hearts it will always be a park...

Is there another park on conway street?

Allison Wonderland

I just saw that message too and thought it was really strange because I know its at Conway, but I don't think Park is part of its official name. I think they meant to

stay off the capitol grounds, or something like that, or maybe a really good hacker got through.

No, there isn't another park on Conway.

What other comedian and crooner have the same name and refer to a park.. This question is for the people who don't think it's at Conway.

Allison Wonderland: if indoors, do you think the 9 5 4 are the hours?

I've heard people say Bing Crosby and Bill Cosby for some Crosby Park or something, but I don't think that's it at all, Bill's last name isn't Crosby. Anyone hear

anything else?

There is NOBODY at Newell!

Technically, no it couldn't. Because if it was indoors, the place would have to be open 24 hours.

maybe its inside one of those lamp posts and we're supposed to bust it open

I came across a power pole that had the number nine on it. At Conway.

I think we will have to wait for the medallion to be found to get the clue writer's explanation of the 954 debate.

what other large object is red that can be seen around Como Park

Park Digger

You're absolutely RIGHT,, Allison- It couldn't be indoors because of the hours conflict....

There's another Red item in the sky at Conway. The Standard station.

WE just got back from Conway, there were so many people out there. It's there, but it's huge. And Channel 5 was out there.

Channel 5 was out there earlier today too. And channel 11 if I heard right too. I can hardly wait for the next clue!!!!!!!

I kinda hope someone finds it so we can get this over with. I'm sick of the cold.

Hi Allison! Glad to meet you at the park today!!! Sorry I couldn't join you all for supper. Received an emergency phone call, and had to boogie.

Are there still folks who *don't* believe ittiz at

Conway???

This is my fist year out looking for the Med. I agree with the Conway thing-all the clues fit. Spent four hours there today. Does anyone have an idea about the

round,white and streched quite tight? I can't belive I've become so obssesed.
