Gonna, we could always meet down there, then we could split. I'm going for sure tomorrow, unless you could give me reason to go tonight.

Ares, what is your thought on the park?

OK, this may be a little far fetched, but could it possibly be on the capital mall. It hasn't been there since '89. There are those gold horse statues, they have made two references beloved St. Paul, and they still have yet to say one word about it being in a park. (Or is the Capital Mall considered a park?)

Just a thought.

I think Como is whack, but that's just the opinion of a wicked clown.

Ok, I'm over excited... maybe it's the digging by myself, I don't know, but the park I think it's in doesn't fit the "lot's of space" or "travel the old way" but....

Can-U Dig-It

I really don't feel like it could be Como again. It was just there 4 years ago. Plus the year after it was found there, the giant slide was moved to Como.

Rex;

I flew by Marydale park, but I can't really picture a statue down there. What sign were you talking about on Dale?

Rushmore

Rex, it is the Cerebral cortex "the 2-mm-thick layer that covers the surface of the brain and which contains the brain's machinery for creating perception, as well as other functions, such as language, memory, and thinking. (p. 20, Goldstein)

Ok it's the digging by myself.. I'm tired, and tipsy, hey even the most astute (he he) has to have a cool beverage..

yeah thats what i thought, but what other clues match up? East and West?

Downtown Dave

While I appreciate every attempt here, I would find suspect that a billboard would be tied to a clue--we don't know when the billboards are written, and we don't know the length of the contract for the advertising--I would chalk that up to an interesting coincidence. As for Iris, about the only support I can find in this clue is that it is on University Avenue, the busies street in St. Paul.

Memory Lane(in North St. Paul) are they being tricky, didn't say which St. Paul, now thats circular thinking and way OFF BASe. it goes to the Ramsey county fair grounds. Which is a walk down mem lane...
