That magical line of double division is now the gateway to the city.

How many years ago was the river center officially completed?

Wed, 01/22/2003 - 11:22 PM Permalink
Terry

Just a subtle reminder...last year was 02. This year is 03. Not that I have a clue, but it might not get you anywhere to go back 100+ years. It might be something much more recent.

okay, so here's what i've got so far....everybody's trying to make it fit somehow at cherokee and has given up on other parks, or parkways, or whatever?

my thoughts are...i think it is on a parcel of land near a border of Ramsey County and a city. There u will find a sign...with a pic of the capital( clear view of our capital dome, as well as 'star city'
still no reference to a park ..still thinking just thought id share my thoughts :)

The site will have some down time in the next couple of hours as we try to address problems with the server.
Thank you for your patience.

Good time to call it a night I guess, SCDs and MCLs all...

I can sleep well thinking I still have a chance to find it tomorrow, if not over the weekend now, lookin like it might possibly last that long

MCL = Much Cooler Love

SCDs - Sweet Cooler Dreams

Both of which I'll say now and hit the pillow to dream of an icy cold blue puck laying out there waiting for us.

What happened in St. Paul in 02-03? Here's what I found so far, not sure how useful it is or not.

Cograts Dal!

Natalie is not good at all yet with the noodling

Give her time, I'm sure she will be :-)

Okay, have warm stuff on - taking Pegasus and going to a certain park to grab the prize.

mmhmmm...well i'll look for your pic in the paper tomorrow!

Thu, 01/23/2003 - 12:02 AM Permalink
Big G

think i'm going with the whole cipher bit, something is hidden in the letters, it's just a matter of figuring out a way that makes sense because you can take random letters and make park names, but i don't think it's random

Okay, I get it - you're laughing. c-ya.
