2009 - Swede Hollow

Submitted by Clue Master on
brasscat

The elevation seems to be higher anywhere in the city than the valley of SH

So to me Sh is "neath the courthouse

barely 'neath BK but none the less 'neath it

Just got back, pretty cold out there.

PP boards have the anagram, lame.

We have the King and need to find the Court.

I recommend taking Payne to the Beaumont/Drewery area and then taking the tunnel into SH. If you park up at Greenbriar/Bates-- the stairs are a killer. There is a charter school called Hope Academy or something like that with a few spots if the street parking is filled up on the Payne side.

Someone verify this..

To see an owner walk his poodle = ease on into Swede Hollow Park

I'm still trying to formulate my theory - this is my first night getting to sit down with everything (and and really look stuff up)

Water and ice are here

do any of the parks have both a swim center and an Ice rink?

other takes on that of course would be water sking and also (snow / x country) sking. or ? ugh. something in my mind on this one

It WAS Johnson with the clue from last year:

This name brings tears, elation and cheers

And occasionally even outrages

It sits on walls and rides the halls

And fills a dozen pages

From The PP Boards

From Wikipedia:

The center of the feudal system in medieval Europe was the king, and a medieval king was, above everything else, a warrior. From the 9th to the 14th centuries—the heyday of feudalism—the most important element in making war was the armored and mounted knight. To maintain a retinue of knights was, however, very expensive. In return for providing the king with warriors, tenants-in-chief were granted large holdings of land. A grant of land was known as a feud or a fief, hence the term feudalism. The tenants-in-chief (commonly called barons in England) received their lands directly from the king and, in turn, leased parts of their estates to the knights, who in their turn gave leases to yeomen. This idealized description was subject to many variations.

Does that description help? 'Neath King and Court - Knights? McKnight Road? Does that cook yer noodle?

Mad_Dach5und - I was hooked on BC before, but I'm caving for Swede Hollow. This clue is firming that up for me too, for the reasons Terry listed before. I was there today and I wasn't the only person with a dog. Besides the anagram with "poodle", I also agree that's a reference to times changing for the area - once a feudal-like state of no bathrooms, now the rich-person's dog can be seen there. Simple as that.

I'll admit those anagrams are pretty damming evidence Swede Hollow is in the mix.

Some of those clue lines I'm having trouble with at Swede:

1) "unleash" would not apply very well there, if at all

2) "Bring to the Fore"- anyone got a link there? Best I got was BedFORD St - nuts

3) 'Detention' and all those lines that may be Gov't related - you can't see the Gov't center building from there - and really, it's not even close by

4) "All we see was done naturally" -- this really bugs me - there are very, VERY few places in that park where you can stand and NOT see something man-made. There are retaining walls and buildings virtually hanging off the upper lip of that whole valley, not to mention drainage pipes from storm sewers and people's backyards - if you want to narrow down search locations in Swede - use THAT line as your guide

yes, and a knave, is not only a dis trust worth person, but a jack (on a playing card) which is also a Knight (mc knight)

although - it would seem then they are beating us over the head with knight. mid evil . knave. king. bower (mid evil term for woman's dressing room)

to the fore - has 3 definitions

to the fore,

Into a conspicuous place or position, to or at the front

At hand; ready; available

Still alive

did anyone also notice, besides that statement of to the front, the words up front are in the first clue?

up? upper afton? front? front of park? near the picnic shelter or is there an enclosed weather shelter (bower enclosed)

by the by - there is a pitbull breader - from what i gather was in southern MN, who is now in TC are, and it's called heart of the beast.

As much as this Wiener would like to stay up all night, I guess I'm going to need to retire and recharge the batteries. We're gonna need a bit more than a warm heart to go out hunting tomorrow. Have fun, everyone!

here's one for your Natural Mad..

"From the Land of Sky Blue Waters." Consumer perception that Hamm's Beer was pure, natural and refreshing was thus achieved through vivid imagery instead of trite, easily forgettable ad copy

hmm - water and ice? ice cold beer?

From Monster energy Drink...

Tear into a can of the meanest energy supplement on the planet, MONSTER energy. We went down to the lab and cooked up a double shot of our killer energy brew. It's a wicked mega hit that delivers twice the buzz of a regular energy drink. The MONSTER packs a vicious punch but has a smooth kick ass flavor you can really pound down. So when it's time to "unleash the beast" within, grab a MONSTER and GO BIG!

Unleash.....could be the puck is in a can or container that has a slogan similar to Unleash the Beast...

forgive me for not slogging the tons of posts.

but I'm assuming none of us have ruled out that the medallion could be in a box - labeled box.

awesome find..... ok two anagrams now.

Tatergirl

Neath King and Courts... I agreed capital letters are bothering me.

Supreme Court Justices --- Roberts..... Kellogg or Harriet Island

                           Stevens.......Cherokee

other ones are Scalia, Alito, Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, Souter, Thomas.... to tired to match these up.

Also...'Neath King and Courts..... people were suggesting Joker or Jack, or knights..... but what about a PAGE as in Page St (Cherokee)

page

–noun 1. a boy servant or attendant.

2. a youth in attendance on a person of rank or, in medieval times, a youth being trained for knighthood.

3. an attendant or employee, usually in uniform, who carries messages, ushers guests, runs errands, etc.

I will say that there are very strong arguments for Cherokee, BC, & Kellogg. I can't fault any of the logic there ... but...

I can't believe they would mislead us twice with two anagrams saying Swede Hollow.
