I think the "old Chestnut" is Como....we love to talk about the hunts there, and the hunts there go way back to when men were men...but Como seems like a clue writer's stable park..."Here's an oldie but a goodie, it's one of my favorites and I hope it's one of yours..."
If I remember right... I believe you can see a part of a church or something from a point in the park...kinda by the old dutch oven...and since they are re-doing como pool....it could fit. UGH!
Friedrich Schiller was rumored to be a Free Mason.
From Wiki:
Some Freemasons speculate that Schiller was a Freemason, but this has not been proven.[11]
In 1787, in his tenth letter about Don Carlos, Schiller wrote:
“I am neither Illuminati nor Mason, but if the fraternization has a moral purpose in common with one another, and if this purpose for the human society is the most important, ...”[12]
In a letter from 1829, two Freemasons from Rudolstadt complain about the dissolving of their Lodge Günther zum stehenden Löwen that was honoured by the initiation of Schiller. According to Schiller's great-grandson Alexander von Gleichen-Rußwurm, Schiller was brought to the Lodge by Wilhelm Heinrich Karl von Gleichen-Rußwurm. No membership document has been found
great memories indeed. what sucks about it is that me2 and i pretty much had como to ourselves that year until the masses convinced us it was on harriet island.
LMAO Vino I have to agree with you..but I tell you what.. if you could have seen the creeper dressed up with a Miss Piggy head and a crazy dress down at the PP last night.... I THINK you might change your mind about the clue videos!
You know the ST. Paul 4H is the CTC Huskies, and they are on Fifield Ave, between Como Ave, and Cleveland Ave. And I've lost the link, jumping through too many rabbit holes, but the 4H Horse project just made the news in January.
MY BF knows nothing about St. Paul, history, location, parks, etc.. although each night when the clue comes out, he reads it with me, and then we watch the video. From the beginning, all he's had to say, is - what kind of deviant is making these? lol. That Rat kissing, I think was the worst so far.
The other one that came from the crazy board is that mine (from you'll flub away what's mine) refers to JessaMINE. Someone here may have also said that.
She Ran and ran away from the man or something. Everyone thought it was the river, but it was the woman her murdered her husband and hid in Como. Although I can't remember the who.
Not that I can recall. But I have this photo from a store in Japan. The wierd part is, the face of the doll looks much like the CW's doll, but the mask is much like the owl mask worn in the farve video.
I was at como for a few hours this morning and am not sure which one is the big old scottish pine. There are lots of pines there - which ones are scottish? Also, not a lot of places to look near McMurry with the ice rinks over, the construction by the pool and the turf field. Maybe the area across the street from McMurry is better.
Hard to know just where to dig. I think we have been given Midway Pkwy, Black Bear Crossing, McMurray Field, the Conservatory perhaps, the golf course, perhaps the carousel and the bear exhibits. We have the park, now its a mater of finding the prime location.
I thing the scottish pine is just a reference to the Fred MacMurray movie - not necessarily a particular lone tree in the park...but it could be.
Have we ever had so many distinct things in clue pointing to the same park. Three movie references to two different actors?
Is there something weird going on here? Or, do they really, really want us in Como now? Or, do they really, really think we are all going to go to Como, but it is really at BC?
That IS good! I haven't been out hunting but have been thinking since last night that I like the south side of the park/Beulah zone, so your nice find gives me confidence to start searching in that area. Thanks! :grin:
If prodigious means huge or enormous and bore something that wearies (most medallions hidden there) taken with your Dan Patch noodle - he gave us Como on clue 3
Any significance to that run-down fireplace in Beula Zone? Who was Beula Lane named after. My Google Books for Boxy's book "the Street Where You Live" starts like at H.
The Dutch Oven and that area was dedicated to a female poet many years ago based on a poem she wrote about trees. That area is now being looked at to renovate. I know I found some of that information in some Como history the past couple of days.
prodigious bore = como again?
Can you see heaven from Beulah Land (Ln)?
Who's to post clue 6?

It's easy to grin when your ship comes in...

What's up with the wink in the video too?
Miss Piggy head and dress? Pig in lipstick??
Where does one buy masks like that in MN?

Anyone been out to Como today? How many are hunting out there and where?

"lonesome pine" could be generic for any evergreen grove.
