Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #5
Thanks, this is the first year I haven't been able to pick a park
to look in after the 4th clue. ?? Any suggestions??
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #5
Rough may be a reference to the golf course; or to the sound a dog makes - "ruff"
'right stuff" could be referring to the song by New Kids on the Block "You Got it (The Right Stuff)"
I'm also bothered by "missing" words - a (twice), got, the. I'm going to keep track of them to see if they eventually form a coherent sentence or a relevant anagram.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #5
Okay. So. I am losing it that the word "the" is missing—diamond in "the" rough. If only I was good at anagrams. I am not. However, I am stuck on Como and now I am down a rabbit hole with Perry Como songs or ones covered by Perry and Neil Diamond or Perry Como singing "Song Sung Blue" on the Perry Como Winter Special. Seriously... send help! LOL :)
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #5
Look for a hill . . . Cathedral Hill? James J Hill house? Any parks near hear that fit with other clues. Big thrill could just refer to finding the medallion, not necessarily a sledding hill. Just noodling . . .
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #5
I kind of read this as being about a snow bank. Sometimes they attach sticks to things like a fire hydrant so that you can find them when they get buried in snow. Maybe there is a snow bank that also has some of those orange cones by it. And then you would have to go dig for your "diamond". Though diamond might also be another baseball/softball reference.

Cmon....lol almost too vague, is there a hidden something here? Right Stuff, space movie? Diamond - ballfield? I guess this to me is not pointing to a park, but where in the park and or what features said park has in it and vague at best. But if you're on the park early, it might get you close by.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #5
Hotdog on a stick and ice cream cone? Concession stand?

Sledding hill at Como... and other places

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #4
I was also thinking Falconry, when someone else mentioned the strapping on the glove for birding. Then I saw this noodle and went HMMMM
Space needle as the perch? Fair Rides, Como Town close ... Falcon Heights ...hmmmm
.......................................................................
Falcon Heights Community Park, very small, isn't far from the MN Raptor Center, on UM campus, near Fairgrounds.

Re: Clue 1 is online now at TwinCities.com
This might help: The word Ukraine has a meaning. It means "borderland" or "outskirts".
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #4
If we go with the bird idea, then ripe for the catch means ripe as in dead rodent used to feed the bird. That's wicked
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #4
I'm thinking the line strap on a glove speaks more towards baseball or for letting large birds land on you. It doesn't say gloves plural like needed for boxing or winter gloves for being outside. That's my lunchtime noodling contribution.

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #2
"Find the chain": Could it be the Grand Round? It was called, " The Grand Round was seen as unbroken chain of “parked” ways that connected these larger park spaces that encircled the city". https://www.stpaul.gov/departments/parks-and-recreation/design-construction/current-projects/saint-paul-grand-round
Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #4
Strap on a glove and look up above for ripe to catch. Blah blah.
First thought is for eagles/hawks any of those type of birds of prey. To strap on the big leather glove and your looking up for them to come land...flying eagle ride at como or maybe means bald eagle(park?)
Any parks with a raptor center near by?

Re: PP Medallion Hunt - Clue #4
Phalen Park has a chain of lakes (find the chain) and one of them is Round Lake . . there are 'rounds' in boxing . . maybe a stretch, but just a thought. Down the road there is Gustavus Adolphus church (glory) and Johnson High School (cap and gown). Going north from there is an archery range ("mark", also "match" and even "glove" I suppose). There is a statue titled "Meditation" . . (follow your muse).
