"A Knack to Know a Knave"

Description: Play: A great hit during Lord Strange's men's seasons at the Rose in 1592-3, A Knack combines sensational exposure of the conmen of Elizabethan London with a romantic tale (based on the Chronicles) of Royal lust and its prevention. Part of In Shakespeare's Shoes - Staged Readings

A lot of Elizabethian-type references in the clues this year.

The PP is so lame. Last night they posted Clue 4 for Clue 5 and tonight they've left off the first line from the clue completely.

Just slogged. Everything at the PP has been brought up here, including colon jokes.

That said, the Wikipedia definition for Vale is quite specific:

In geography, a vale is a wide river valley, usually with a particularly wide flood plain or flat valley bottom. Vales commonly occur between the escarpment slopes of pairs of chalk downs, where the chalk dome has been eroded, exposing less resistant underlying rock, usually clay.

This makes me think that BC might not quite fit the bill, unless the part by 61 used to be flatter and more open. I'm inclined toward SH, Harriet, HF, or Crosby.

The impressive arbor could be large or plentiful boats made of wood, which would make an argument for Harriet (Not sure if that's been mentioned here).

To me, this clue screams Swede. What other park makes me think of gloominess and once you walk into the park you find it opens up into a lovely area. But, tomorrow night I might be on to something else.

And you have to remember, if its a St Paul Park its going to be one hell of a foot race come sun rise if the police stand to the parks rules.

Remember 2003, oh yea, if the police enforce all the park rules well picture that but 100x more worse

They won't be able to.

After clue 10 there is nothing they can do even if they wanted to.

RNC protesters have nothing on medallion hunters.

quick thought - there was talk last night about "bower", and some card game that uses left/right bower, and now tonight with the "knave" possibly meaning - jack....

maybe we're dealing with some card deck stuff again...

I know the police usually let us look if we do it peacfully, as they did in the past. But yet when everyone is in everypark right now I think they just wanted to pass that long.

Uggh I get home just after 11 and it takes me forever to slog and by the time I catch up everyone noodled this and I have squat to add.

The only thing is I noticed is when OT printed the Shepard's prayer --- Shepard Rd.?

Yes, Euchre has a left and right bauer (uses the German spelling).

The clue tonight sort of reminded me of Hearts and piercing the veil (hearts can be played).

With all these card games, it almost sounds like the park is by a Bar that has Texes Holdem tourneys.

the non-city parks i.e. roseville, maplewood, might not be so welcoming....

but i've never had a problem with Saint Paul cops during the hunt....

when they find out what you're doing, they're usually cool about it...

It seems the clues are bringing up and down the river valley from IM to Cherokee.

I keep wondering if it might be in Upper Landing park (Up front)There is that whole trail that runs along the river and Shepard Rd. Jackson St. runs into it. Views of xcel, science museum, marina/harbor, nature sanctuary.

I know they havent placed it on a parkway in quite some time but that would throw everyone off.

well I'm officially out of ideas (for now) on linking this clue to Phalen or Keller

indeed it would throw everybody off... and if Jackson St. runs into it I think it's just as good a lead as any right now

I can think of a dank vale in Crosby, wherein lies a creature with three heads that surely makes the settings seem gloomy...and ironically, this location is linked to King Boreas...hmmm...
