I think Phalen is a good call for anyone -
harriet though is offlimits
and the salvation army kettle is moved out of Kellogg isnt it? but there still are alot of lights in the trees -so it probly wont be there due to idiots messing with electricity.
I get a good feeling for Phalen BC and Highland but I thought they were all taken --- I think Cherokee and Linwood wont be used for a while due to being on bluffs -- if you notice the last 2 hunts were on 'safe' ground so to speak and that was the same writer.
good point on that me2
Yeah, I kind of figured that Scribe would be changing her pick, and thanks for catching Newell tim.

oh thanks for the update- they havnt sold that many! I was thinking of getting another one. I had heard last that they were only up to a thousand.
and thanks for finding out everyones park guesses -is this the guess that cost $5? so who do we pay? the rabbit? on the 24th-ish?
Yeah, you do pay AW the $5. Some of us already paid but I don't see the list at the top any more. Good idea on keeping it away from the bluffs given what happened at Mounds over the 4th. Damn! I should have changed it then. Oh well, I'm stuck with it now.
I noticed on winter-carnival.com they took off the field that you type in your name/extra names to have put on the Certificate. Anyone know why? I don't even see mention in the description that it comes with a name on it? Or do they do that now after you buy a certificate? I was thinking of getting one now, but would like to know before I get one.
There is no waiting list. If you want a park, you pick that park, even if someone else already picked it. You just have to then hope that they change their mind and then you become the first person to pick it without changing your mind.
And yes, I guess people would pay me and then I'd pay the winner. Your guess doesn't really count if you don't pay so I'd say I have to get the money by Clue 4 as that seems to usually be the earliest point at which the park becomes revealed.
As for people paying me already, I don't recall that. Who? When?
Are you going to venture a guess AW?
I'll say Marydale.
Something feels right to me about that park too, it's due.
I just had a weird feeling when I drove by it a while ago. Probably doesn't mean anything, but I can always change my vote later.
Who knows, you might be in good shape sticking with that one.

My bad AW. I was thinking of last years pool header. ::space:: I'll have my 5 for ya at the PDG.
Hey ares, could you change the header of last years pool to say 2003? Thanks
Deep thoughts. I'm living on noodles you know.
Well now that there is a virtual 5 dollar bill in play thanks to _____, I wanna use it to make an unoffical prediction.
I think Art will find it.
Art? or Art-ist? ;)

More officaly I trust Me2 or Liquor Lady.
It would be fun to search in west Minnehaha cause it's closer to home, but Phalen would be genius as far as playing with meaningfullness and expectation.
I don't know if I'm crazy or smart, but realizing i'm off topic (this is the WHERE, not the WHO thread) I had the random thought that WHO is a clue and Horton hears you! So maybe, just maybe Guesses = The coded decision making process and I'm witnessing the best kept secret in Saint Paul. Since everyones identity is so well unknown, It takes ALOT of historic reading to to figure out who we all are. And if I shut up about it RIGHT NOW, this could be a profound referance post for folks figuring out the clues later once they start.
Either that or it's disinformation ;) But I'd like to think I'm an honest guy.
Huh?
Hey me2, Joey says meka leka Hi meka hidie ho
They had the thingy on the site for your name when I bought mine. However I put mrmnmikey in there and it still came in my real name.
I got Clue Master on mine. #467
I got "Scribe & THX 1138" put on ours.
I guess they did however call Scribe to check if that's what we really wanted put on there.
FYI: I don't know my cert # offhand.
hmm.. so I wonder if they'd call you to check for a name? Hmm.. guess I could email them. I wonder who got number 2004? That'd be the coolest one to get.
I wonder who got number 2004?

OOOoooo, so close!
so close.....but not in como
I don't think they asked for a phone # when I bought it. That came later with the entry form for the prizes. I'm starting to wonder why they didn't put mrmnmikey on it!
Wow, look at all the sights for sore eyes!
::waves::
As usual, my prediction is for Hidden Falls. Second guess is Como. Third guess is Central Park. Fourth guess is Union Park.
It takes ALOT of historic reading to to figure out who we all are
wow H.A. you have a great memory-"thanks for the memories" to read- how can I forget about Horton so quickly, oh yeah, it had to do with that yearning to FORGET about that park. hahaha
and CM!!!! how dare you use the word "ho" with the reference to 69! :P
We're proud owners of ice palace block 599.
nice THX- I wonder who got 69
and as for 'awesome' = I really needed to be positive about anything! My new year has begun crummy and I am trying to be positive and perky without my 'snap cup' - so I am sorry I didn't use 'good' - I will be sure to tame myself down a bit next time. :)
Nice avatar Mappy. Good ta C ya again.
we must be close guys, mappy is in da hizouse
Me2, Yearning, or learning to forget? That wouldn't be a highly sophisticated reference to Mr. Colin Rusch and his Current Dance review colum in MPLS/St. Paul Magazine now would it?
if so, holy ****, we're all doing our homework.
hehe, I'm going to have so much fun.
I noticed the Govs got 20 million for me tonight :)
is Linwood
Hey Rush!
Ok, Scribe says Palace.
THX says it won't be a St Paul park, but it will be in Ramsey County.
I was thinking THX, who knows if it's never 'not' been turned in before? If we find it and not turn it in, don't you think they might just say that some jackass found it anyway just to see if the person holding on to it comes out of the woodwork to set them straight. Or at least brag to others that they actually did find it and that the published finders were bogus. I doubt it, but I'm gonna look up how many times it went to the last clue and read up on those. Just a weird thought since there's no noodling to do yet.
THX says it won't be a St Paul park, but it will be in Ramsey County.
I've been saying that for years, and given up on it. But my guess wouldbe Long Lake. It's huge.
I think Phalen would be too easy because of the Ice Palace, and I don't think they want anyone even near downtown, and now that I've moved, Newell is close to my house, so I'm gonna say Newell
If everyone with a guess puts in their money, we're up to $85 for the winner, not bad
Hey, who's running this list on top? They seem to be missing some people (like me)!
And I think I have all of the guesses from here on the list, if I've forgotten any, don't hesitate to let me know

Hey, no pay, no play buddy. ;-)
It doesn't matter if someone beats me to it. More than one person can guess the same park. The winner is who guessed it first without changing it later. So my guess would only win if Nonagoose changed her vote (or didn't pay). But in the meantime, I would have Marydale ahead of anyone else who might think it's there.
The point of the pool wasn't to have everyone randomly pick a park and then see which one is right. It's supposed to be to see who figures out the clues first.
It's supposed to be to see who figures out the clues first.
Yeah, but more than likely the park was already picked and that person prolly won't change it anyway if it could fit the clues even in the slightest. Then why would someone want to change if someone already picked the park. Being that's it's highly unlikely that they will change since most of the other parks are already picked anyway.
Random is fine too. Maybe say something like "I'm still keeping IM but I think it's in Marydale". Because why would I want to loose a first pick to try and get a second or third pick that won't change?
Don't get me wrong, it's still fun nonetheless.
Maybe to show who was the 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc to pick the correct park? But that was blown to hell last year as it was kind of pointed out to all of us on the same clue.
It pretty much comes down to who picked the right park before the hunt even started anyway. Which is fine. That works too.
Exactly, CM. If the point of the pool was to figure out the clues and make an educated guess, then why make this thread in Jan. 2003 and have people start guessing right away?
And I am still following all the guesses that people have made of parks that have already been guessed. (Map Guy in next in line for Hidden Falls, etc.)
Since I posted first, I might be the culprit who started this thread. Sorry
Sorry
Yeah, you should be. Way to go Ian. Troublemaker ;-)
Big...
Joey!
Boy, 3 of those guys together are pretty creepy.
