It starred two mice, Pixie and Dixie, and a cat, Mr. Jinks (a.k.a. Jinksy). Pixie was voiced by Don Messick, and Dixie and Mr. Jinks were voiced by Daws Butler. Dixie, appropriately, talked with a southern twang.
In many ways the shorts resemble Hanna and Barbera's earlier better-known creation, Tom & Jerry, which also featured a warring cat and mouse (sometimes two) in a domestic setting. However without Tom and Jerry's more lavish budget for full animation, the Jinks team had to rely on funny dialogue and voices to carry the cartoon's humor. The cartoon was also less violent, and unlike the slightly sinister Tom, the headstrong Jinks was, in reality, too dense to pose much of a real threat to the mice.
Pixie and Dixie and Mr. Jinks is also remembered for Mr. Jinks' rhyming but ungrammatical lament, "I hate those meeces to pieces!".
As with Huckleberry Hound, Mr. Jinks would frequently talk directly to the audience, and discuss his plans to trap the "meeces".
Pixies (also Piskies and Pigsies as they are sometimes known in Cornwall) are mythical creatures of folklore, considered to be particularly concentrated in the areas around Devon [1] and Cornwall, [2] suggesting some Celtic origin for the belief and name. They are usually depicted with pointed ears, and often wearing a green outfit and pointed hat. Sometimes their eyes are described as being pointed upwards at the temple ends. These are Victorian Era conventions and not part of the older mythology.
"Dixie", also known as "I Wish I Was in Dixie", "Dixie's Land" and other titles, is a popular American song. It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century,[1] and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy.[2] Although not a folk song at its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a synonym for the Southern United States.
Most sources credit Ohio-born Daniel Decatur Emmett with the song's composition; however many other people have claimed to have composed "Dixie", even during Emmett's lifetime. Compounding the problem of definitively establishing the song's authorship are Emmett's own confused accounts of its writing, and his tardiness in having "Dixie" copyrighted. The latest challenge has come on behalf of the Snowden Family of Knox County, Ohio, who may have collaborated with Emmett to write "Dixie".
The song originated in the blackface minstrel show of the 1850s and quickly grew famous across the United States. Its lyrics, written in a comic, exaggerated version of African American Vernacular English, tell the story of a freed black slave pining for the plantation of his birth. During the American Civil War, "Dixie" was adopted as a de facto anthem of the Confederacy. New versions appeared at this time that more explicitly tied the song to the events of the Civil War. Since the advent of the American Civil Rights Movement, many have identified the lyrics of the song with the iconography and ideology of the Old South. Today, "Dixie" is sometimes considered offensive, and its critics link the act of singing it to sympathy for the concept of slavery in the American South. Its supporters, on the other hand, view it as a legitimate aspect of Southern culture and heritage and the campaigns against it as a kind of political correctness.

Unlike traditional cruises, with their elaborate check-in procedures, our cab pulled up to the dock in St. Paul and we literally just strolled aboard the American Queen. At 7 p.m. with our full complement of 436 passengers and an all-American crew of 180, we pulled away from the pier to the accompaniment of a calliope playing "Dixie."

I had a thought it was in that book. I forgot mine over at Art's house last night and he's asleep already so I'm bookless tonight and Wikipedia doesn't quite cut it.
Maury: This small street between Greenbrier and Bates, was the last in DaytonÂ’s Bluff to ever be paved. It is named after Matthew Maury, a naval officer and ocean traveler who died in 1872. He wrote several volumes on the seas, including an early work that helped explain the role of tides and winds that cut down travel time. Someone at the time must have had a naval interest, because several other East Side streets, such as Preble, were also named for naval heroes of the era in this 1857 plat.
My source has been the Dayton's Bluff Newsletter; they have every street name around the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood, but not all like the Streets Where You live, but many.
Here is a link to the Maury street description. scroll down to middle of page. The DB newsletter coverd A-Z in 4 newsletters so you need to go to home page and search out previous issues, mostly the spring/summer 2007 http://www.daytonsbluff.org/DBDF/June2007/DBDF_June2007Txt.html
Also, the DB newsletter added some info that Empson has not.
Reaney [street]: Captain John H. Reaney came to St. Paul with his father in 1852. As a young man, he started working with local businessman Louis Robert. Reaney became an owner of several steamboats and the street was named for him in 1872.
there are a ton of streets named after boat captains, as the Dayton's Bluff newsletter states. So it would fit the clue that They Never Met but come together for the gem.
AW - I think your cartoon mouse angle is really cool. I don't think it's part of the clue, but it is intriguing. I'm gonna post pictures of Pixie and Dixie and Steamboat Willie on the PP page and see if anyone bites at it, or even figures it out.
The stern and stem are the front and back ends of a ship. Edward Preble was a famous Commodore in the United States Navy during the Revolutionary War. Preble Township in southern Minnesota is named after him, as is Preble St. in St. Paul. Payne Ave. & Preble St. intersect at... Swede Hollow.Smiley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Preble

That sounds like a word puzzle - to for from stern to stem - you take out the "R"
What is the Dixie Pixie? Take out the "R" and what do you get?
Together they'll lead to the gem
Of the two people (or streets), one was not a hard worker and one worked like crazy.

Pixie and Dixie were cartoon mice as was "Steamboat Willie" who might have worked stem to stern.
                   worked stern to stem= barges
They never met.... paddle boats on one side of Robert st bridge and barges on the other.
Payne was a major in the Confederate Army.
Payne Ave and Maury St.
Mind you they have never mentioned "park" yet. All of the clues have been eluding to things in and around the river valley.
Together they'll lead to the gem
It could mean all the clues on all the different days meet to spell out the Med location.
