I'm always looking for a double meaning to a clue:
Rags to riches - while it's an obvious nod to Ragsdale, could also be a clue to a historical name that made his own fortune - many come to mind. Or maybe a sight reference - lottery billboard.
Cast/stitches = hospital (current or former site of). Ancker hospital was near HI, Gillette was at Phalen.
Honestly Rob, Up until now, I thought the level thing was a coincidence. I think this is your tah dah moment. Good for you, in the kindest way that can be said.
On a cold and grey Chicago morning another little baby child is born...
Apologies for the off topic but Z man intrigued me.
Both my wife and I LOVE suspicious minds. Not for the topic, but we both remember the performance from the concert movie,as well as Elvis, Aloha from Hawaii, the first nationwide satellite broadcast of a TV sow. Via Telstar! That is how you put on a show.
And for the record, I have an awesome Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath collection.
Lust? I had to go back to the scrambled wondering how I missed that word. I didn't it's not there.
I am usually better at scrambles, and this one should be easy, but something is off for me tonight.
I think it may have to do with being tired and knowing these get more difficult as the hunt goes on and we usually just end of waiting for the unscrambled version.
Hmm, now I went back and looked you're right! I see someone else thought of my line too on the PP board, I'm loosing it lol think it's best to wait too, save the over thinkng when it makes sense
I'm deciding the best time to go out and start searching, beginning to get that itch. But must pace myself so I don't burn myself out lol. Clue 2...parks still up in the air obviously I must wait.

I have spent the day trying not to over think the first clue.
"Rags to riches" also reminds me of the musical "Annie"; they made a new version recently.
Why can't you see, what you're doin' to me....
Dha dah dah dut dah, da da dut Dah...
People, don't you understand? The child needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way?
--Which is weird - because it is so much different than what I typically like to listen too (Loud and Fast)

It was hidden in a jeans pocket.
Then coincidently Mrs. Gene Swenson (Gene S = genes) found the medallion in Como park in 1965.
I feel like they gave away the park 1st clue last year.
now fouled rest secured plans men
beyond but we've are of well

(Clue 2 scrambled)
Old Gillette at Phalen, VA across river from HF.
Phalen and Battlecreek fit if clue one refers to city and county
When I saw the word foul, I was thinking baseball fields - in and out of the box?

C, C
D (or :cool:
usually...
Usually folks would say something like Rest assured, my word is good.
I like the result though - much better than anything I was getting.
Measure and treasure - assured, word, secured are rhyming words. Assured and secured likely the two.
