2002 Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt

Submitted by Casey Trauer on

Yes, the medallion has been found, but there's still lots to talk about. Feel the need for more than virtual discussion? Then join the Re-Hash Bash, Sunday, Jan. 27, at noon at Merriam Park in St. Paul.

If you can derive Atlantic St. from the Time and Tide clue, how about Pacific St., which is the first street at the start of Indian Mounds Park, right off 94.

On another note: The etymology of "wreck," in old english, means "to drive."

As for the doubles OK, OK & hey, hey, and maybe there being a park & a rec center, how about there being the Indian Mounds Park & Mounds Park rec a few blocks away?

Just a few ideas I'm kicking around.

I'm thinking WRECK is either an auto salvage lot or a body shop.

Because I keep seeing her name-damn I knew I should have marked them.

She's NOT, right?

But Ian, is there a "Conway Park" and a "Conway Rec Center"? Or is Conway Rec Center in "Conway Park"?

There is a "Como Park," and there is a "North Como Rec Center."

I compared the Rec listing and the park listing.

Never mind. I did this at like 2:00 AM and now I can't remember what all I was thinking.

I've no idea where you're seeing her name...

I, often, will say "Jackie and Trent," meaning them collectively. But, to answer your question, Jackie is NOT, NOT, NOT here. At least physically! :D She's here very much in heart, spirit, mind and soul!

No parking at Groveland Rec, but I'm sure there' parking at the school that's right next to it.

New Daddy, just the point on the signs.

There is a physical Como Park; and there is a physical Como Rec Center, both, coinsidentally, are managed by St. Paul Parks & Rec.

There's a Northwest Como rec center, but it's part of Chelsea Heights Elementary and they wouldn't have people on the playground the same time the kids are out for recess.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but Phalen and Como are the only park/rec center mentioned on the City's website as both a park and a rec center. But, Battle is also mentioned in the Rec Center area, and we know that is a regional park.
