i've pretty much eliminated highland from competition. in the past, when the clue writers have made references to golf courses, it's because the medallion isn't in one of those 3 parks. well, highland not only has the course, but also a snoopy statue at the arena. that's not to say i've eliminated como and phalen, mostly because the frog pond is sounding mighty good, but highland's got the double-whammy.
Because of this double whammy I'm not ruling out highland, remember it says do not "annoy" the golf courses and statues, it doesn't say "avoid" them, this could be a subtle inverse reference to suggest that the park has both a course and a statue, depending on the attitude the clue writer wanted to convey.
Nuttin' much, Mr. The usual. I can see The Clues fit a couple parks. Ittiz this time o'year I wish I were more black and white and not such a gray person. Would be nice to have a titch more tunnel vision in January!
Great minds, Northern! I dug up that Schultz was awarded The Congressional Gold Medal o'Honor yesterday, and even if there's not a statue (I don't know what they all look like) with Snoopy dancing, he was always "on" his "toes," dancing.
Northern... Now, you're gonna laugh - everybuddy will - but you know our beloved, wunnerful City has a fencing school and ittiz near a park... And very close to a couple o'Snoopy statues... Don't you?
This debate seems to pop up every year, but I think its too early for them to be telling us that the park does or does not have a golf course, or even that it does or does not have a statue. I think they put them in this early just to tell us that no matter where we search, don't go digging up those things or otherwise harming them. I also think annoy is just to rhyme, but really means avoid.
I'd say the main reason for people not being on mIRC is because people don't know to go there. There are dozens of other places people could go. Even my site has a chatroom. But this is the place that everyone thinks to go, and so it will always be the place that everyone comes back to.
I have seen many war memorials, some with the word loved but no beloved. The national guard armory is by Phalen and prosperity park... Going to slog...
dont like the idea that we here get exploited by lurkers, but oh well. not much ideas yet, on clues. i like the thoughts on capitol mall though. what about being at newell again? with "duel" and all
Man, it took me almost my whole lunch break just to slog. This is going to be difficult keeping up with everything this year! I'm still liking Como and Phalen right now. Can't wait until tonight when we'll finally get something really substantive!
This is my first post, and as someone who used to only lurk, I can say that even though there's lots to read here, they (lurkers like I used to be) don't always believe youall. I was at Mound for quite some time once because I was convinced you (now we) were all wrong. And remember all the slogging needed to get some of this....there are those who won't stay for the whole discussion and miss out of the good stuff.
What is there to like about Como? It was just there a few years ago. They already have a lot of Winter carnival events going on there. Personally I don't buy a wedding tie in.
Phalen is still top of my list(of course my list is pure guess work) the is a lagre howitzer type gun that could be deployed.. That area was already dug up
Just thought I would see what was going on. I have a feeling that this years hunt is going to be one to remember! I'm starting to think that it may not be a Medallion this year, due to the "special item" reference in the clue. Also, if anyone has any ideas on what else to feature on my site, please let me know. Does anyone here get the paper at 11? If so, can you call me with the clue? I'm willing to toss a few bucks your way. email me at asylummedia@hotmail.com. If anyone sees a tall blond walking in the parks with army gear on, chances are that it's me, so say hi. If you wanna know why i'm wearing army gear, it's b/c the cold weather gear that I was issued is VERY VERY WARM!
Allison, I belive you do have to buy the wedding references to believe it is at Como. However, bold contradicts Como.
I am not feeling creative today - headache. I was more on a roll yesterday with weird solutions to the puzzle.
Anyway, does anyone think the Salt Lake City Olmypic Committee visting St. Paul to look at the giant slide and to see other activities has anything to do with all this?
I wouldn't think the olympic committee visit would have bearing on things...you have to figure that the writers had to come up with the park and clues sometime ago (at least the general ideas) so the inclussion of something so "right now" seems a bit far-fetched to me.
Since we are considering places like Capitol Mall and the fairgrounds What about other non-park locations can we come up with a good list of "non-parks" otherwise for all we know it might just be at some intersection or under some bridge, or just out on the road someplace.
wouldn't it be considered bold to put the med back in a park it had been in 4 years ago since we all believe this circumstantial theory that it has to be at least 6 years between repeat appearances?
what about old gold cigarettes
keep on your toes, hamilton as in Dorthy, or high ??
Mother probally wouln't encourage the little ones to think smokes

Sounds like Highland Park. I like Marshees idea about Ballerina Slippers.
And Mr. Know It All returns! Hi!!!
Hey Green, sup
point taken, shoveler. the ballerina slippers sound good here, too. are they big enough to hold the puck?
where is that goose that lays the golden egg ?
just stay away from golf courses and statues, don't mean a park w/o, just stay away from them
The Med would fit in a ballet slipper.
Nuttin' much, Mr. The usual. I can see The Clues fit a couple parks. Ittiz this time o'year I wish I were more black and white and not such a gray person. Would be nice to have a titch more tunnel vision in January!
I don't suppose we've got a Snoopy dancing do we?
Or I guess they're all kind of dancin'
Dancing in the rain Snoopy...345 Plato
Great minds, Northern! I dug up that Schultz was awarded The Congressional Gold Medal o'Honor yesterday, and even if there's not a statue (I don't know what they all look like) with Snoopy dancing, he was always "on" his "toes," dancing.
If you find one, LET ME KNOW!!! :D
LOL, Green!!! Okay, now WHICH Snoopy statute? A "dueling" Snoopy???
Actually, The Med's prolly in MPLS - Gold Medal Flour...
Northern... Now, you're gonna laugh - everybuddy will - but you know our beloved, wunnerful City has a fencing school and ittiz near a park... And very close to a couple o'Snoopy statues... Don't you?
Well there was a Vulcanus Rex Snoopy and a King Boreaus
Some of the Snoopys had fences around them...
I am all out of theories today.
Why aren't we using mIRC, instead of this pokey board?
This debate seems to pop up every year, but I think its too early for them to be telling us that the park does or does not have a golf course, or even that it does or does not have a statue. I think they put them in this early just to tell us that no matter where we search, don't go digging up those things or otherwise harming them.

Leelabell, because that's where's here to use. Let The Press know if you're unhappy.
Nice palinadrome (or whatever Joe!)
I'd say the main reason for people not being on mIRC is because people don't know to go there. There are dozens of other places people could go. Even my site has a chatroom. But this is the place that everyone thinks to go, and so it will always be the place that everyone comes back to.
I'm agree with Allison Wonderland on the annoy...they can't use the same words each year
Fairgrounds are in Falcon Heights...
Hey Everyone I am new to the discussion, looks like Fairgrounds area or Capitol Mall!?!
I have seen many war memorials, some with the word loved but no beloved. The national guard armory is by Phalen and prosperity park... Going to slog...
Regarding mIRC, it was more of a rhetorical question. I would miss folks who could not get in there. :)
Lunch break---only 10.5 more hours til next clue.
dont like the idea that we here get exploited by lurkers, but oh well. not much ideas yet, on clues. i like the thoughts on capitol mall though. what about being at newell again? with "duel" and all
Don't spoil the fun by telling the lurkers. They're watching and staying warm, waiting for your insight. I'm back to work..talk later.

Private ground...is there a place that has both public and private property?
Most every park has private property surrounding it.
Hey Everyone!
Just thought I would see what was going on. I have a feeling that this years hunt is going to be one to remember!

But is there any that is not obvisouly divided by say a street? Backyards running into the park, etc...
I wouldn't think the olympic committee visit would have bearing on things...you have to figure that the writers had to come up with the park and clues sometime ago (at least the general ideas) so the inclussion of something so "right now" seems a bit far-fetched to me.
Leela, I don't think *that* particular Olympic thingy has anything to do with The Hunt... However, my gut feeling(s) keep whispering "Olympic gold."
Not much help, I'm sure... But at least we're both getting the same alien vibes!
Sorry to hear about the headache... :< Ittiz hard to noodle when your head hurts.

Conway had houses that ran directly into the park. I think maybe Tilden did too. There may be others.
Public property list to follow:
I don't think we're really considering the Fairgrounds since they are not actually in St. Paul.
And yes, it would be bold to put it in Como, but I have another reason for thinking its not there that I put on my site.
