Sounds like the 'cipheren is in full gear from the few (hundred) posts I've skimmed through. I sure miss the hunt this year (this is only the second or third year that I've missed of the last 20 years :(
Oh well... Maybe I could start a hunt down here in AZ... hmmm.
I usually put in a couple of cents on what my take of the clues are but this year I don't see anything jumping out - other than the obvious.. but here a couple o'ideas -
Would William McKnight qualify as a man of mettle? I think he was a founder of 3M - fettle {a stretch}- he built a house on Summit and Prior. I don't know why he came to mind when I read that clue - but it did, so there.
What other names have been thrown around? I saw John son and a couple others but I don't think I'm sold on them yet.
I think East and West means the puck isn't in the downtown area and could also reference a pair of streets , or which side of downtown to venture in. There must be a baseball field in the park - but stay away from it. Also playground equipment to play on - maybe look between the diamond and a jungle gym thing.
The puck might be hiding out in a Dove soap box - or may a Dove Bar wrapper? What other "containers" have been thrown out here?
... this is getting to long and I'm not sure if this has all been analyzed to death yet 'cauze I haven't read the previous 18,000 posts - geeesh, I've got a lot of reading ahead of me. Anyone want to summarize the discussions been going on? :)
Good luck to all - Especially you, Jill (she's cuttin' me in for %10 if she uncovers the bounty - ain't she great! :)
Thanks Ares... I feel better now. I am not a caffeine consumer but waiting for this clue has led to a SERIOUS sugar fix... cake, cookies, graham crackers... YIKES!!! I hope this clue leads to somewhere, otherwise I will have nowhere to expend this buzz!
offend away, step. i've got an archive, but i'm concerned the one i want to post would be too offensive and sacrilegious for the scribe (might tick you off, too, despire its heavy british/irish influence. then again, maybe not :)
Mom,read about the middle of the map in Mcmurray field in Como.Lexington and midway are the main borders.Larry McMurray was known as'Larry Ho'was twice mayor of St.Paul and journalist for the PP.There is a statue of him acrooss the street.Therefore he is both real and metal/mettle,dual/duel meaning.........
LOL

Just FYI, McKnight was NOT the founder of 3M. He was chairman of the board for awhile.
DU DU DUD UD DA DA BOOM BOOM BOOM WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- thump, thunk, deee deee dee dee WOOOOO!
StepDogg, let the pro handle the jokes
You mean Larry Hodgson!!!! Who Larry Ho Street by Battle Creek is named after?????
That statue (in Como) is off Midway and Horton.
what if she doesn't have a sister, dan ?:)
Im thinking the old 7th street
Train tracks?
Scribe, Laurence Curran Hodgson was know as Larry Ho not Mcurray. You are looking at the wrong field. look at zone 2 in the guide.
OUCH! that's a bad one!
Ares - LOVE the caffein poem!!!!
where is the statue of Ibsen?
Fort Road.
Well....that clue helps ALOT!!!!

Thanks C.G. - my corporate history is a little rusty - He did build a nice house though :)

"Take a walk" down memory lane... the old way of traveling would be walking or by cable car....
Clue Master - you got me sold...that makes the most sense so far.
traveling the old way again - by horse back, stage coach...
seams to go withe the riding clue. any statues with a horse.....
Memory Lane - Highland (1st hunt) or Newell (last hunt)
either train tracks (the soo line/canadian pacific runs just south of como) or horse and buggy.
Here is the clue.
"Here I sit same as ever took a dump and pulled the lever, toilet cloged water flowed, look out world it's a mother load"
HEHEHEHE
You guys know the clue for Tommarow allready?
This sucks.
