The Allison Wonderland

10 - Linwood

Shakespeare is referred to as the Bard of Avon and Avon street runs right into St Clair on the edge of Linwood rec area.

great noodling mike

Just an observation of the use of Shakespeare's line, to be or not to be. Clue #2 line, Over hill, over dale is another line from Shakespeare.   

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead!

Here is the new clue:   Clue #7
To be or not to be
See the quandary once raised
From the town to the crown
Our hero was left half-crazed.   And the previous clues:   Clue #6
For noble or peasant life is more pleasant
If the elements are kept at bay
The greatest story gives power and glory
To those who follow the way.   Clue #5
When hunters were bidden to where it was hidden
By forces beyond their ken
We got a clue to start things anew
And hope it won't happen again   Clue #4
Water and field a refuge did yield
A place to play when cold or hot.
But as changes came they did proclaim
A new use for this pleasant plot   Clue #3
To recognize this year’s prize
Seek not geometry of yore
Would it be found stop looking around
Only the edgy will score
 
Clue #2
Over hill over dale hit the dusty trail
Better keep rolling along
In and out hear them shout
If you want to belong
 
Clue #1
Santa Ana’s churning, things are burning
The city hills are glowin’
The beast returns as the hunter yearns
The answer my friend is blowin’

I'm thinking now that last night's clue refers to St. Clare of Assisi. Maybe it really is Linwood. A hunter yearns! It would be both Pleasant and edgy.

There was an anagram in clue 4!?

good question, i'm hoping it was an accident  

10 for Central

Does Clue #5 mean we ignore the anagram in Clue #4?

Also bordering Linwood Rec Area is St. Clair street - Another Saint... Thanks Michele!

P.S. Warning - Do not take the Mark!
(Rev 13:16)  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:(Rev 13:17)  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.(Rev 13:18)  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
This could happen very soon! And once it happens it will be too late!So what's next?I'd repent and get right with Jesus, asap!. He died on the cross for you because He loves you. Your sins can now be washed clean but you have to make the next move and seek God. God will not go against your free will. He wants to Love you, but you have to let Him in. Let Him know today! No one is promised tomorrow...

ill go 10 on tony schmidt   Some of my noodles- mostly stretches   I was thinking hidden falls -the puck re-hidden and a reused clue from hidden falls in '07, "over hill over dale".   -Maybe the ford plant was a refuge from development, which changed from the ford plant into a pleasant plot for people to live. -edgy - on the edge of the county and edgcumbe also the street names Kenneth, Field, Bayard. I learned most of those are pretty generic and all over the county.  I kept seeing Plant in pleasant(a stretch) clue 6 started with "for" maybe could elude to ford or fort. and "power" eluding to the dam or ford steam plant and "follow the way" - follow ford parkway     Now Tony Schmidt seems to fit better for me blowin - Flaherty's arden bowl Hill is used a couple times -Arden Hills Yore - Old hwy 10 Around - round lake Henry Mc'Ken'ty named lake johanna after his wife military references and "forces" - close to the armory hot and cold is a Katy Perry song - First white settler on Johanna was Charles Perry clue 5 could refer to the 2012 hunt  "for noble" - 4th and noble st? "Elements are" it almost sounds like elementary but probably not also, round lake north of the park shows is owned by "Minnesota Valley Natl Wildlife Refuge"   haha, my mind will probably change again at midnight.  

Clue #8  

Two men who held office most high are to be found not all that nigh,

Yet they matter, and this is why - between them you'll rake in your pay.

Water is something to avoid, though a bit of ice was employed.

Don't slip or you will be annoyed before heading out old Tom's way.

 

what do you think?

 

some of these seem like they reference Crosby Farm and some make me think Harriet Island?

I have 4 other parks l am watching, but .... 10 for Battle Creek  

Michele 

Can someone forward clue 6 please and Thank You
Mike

10 Linwood Recreation Center 
There is always some HistoryThere is always street namesI am poor searching the History, love looking at streets. ( I have only ever picked a park correctly once early, so take this with a grain of salt, tonights clue will probably blow this to the wind...clue #1 LOL) But Clue #1 city Hill's a Glowin - The city limits are HOT! (The Ken clue is not for this unless...)clue #5 Noodle - The Ken thing pointing to outside areas is a good noodle of past hunts. (Good Noodle there by previous poster)But alternate noodle on Ken and ANEW, the best I can come up with is a NEW park. (But to hope it wont happen again?) Why would I not hope a new park is chosen again?unless its a very unlikely small park that does not cater well to large crowds? Making it tough to get to and - dont do that again PUCK HIDER!??? I think the whole purpose of clue #5 is  A NEW. I think Rose even stated that. So smaller places and smaller parks, Like Newell and Langford, Irvine come to mind. In 1969 the medallion was at I35 and Victoria. Not a park. But very close to Linwood Recreation Area which is along St. Clair and Pleasant. (Pleasant Lot) Where Pleasant Ave. begins is just Over summit HILL area by where DALE (#2) street ends and in that area is KENwood park. (a stretch, but it's literally right there) Just across Pleasant street from Linwood is Pleasant Arena where you can play hockey in COLD OR HOT (#4) weather, where if the puck goes IN and OUT THEY SHOUT #2 at the Arena.SO I looked up History, cuz you gotta have some history and this fits the water and field repurpose of this Mississippi prairie area that was restored. (#4)Linwood Recreation Center

The Summit Hill neighborhood is very fortunate to have the Linwood Community Recreation Center, located at 860 St. Clair Avenue. It is the site of not only many activities for residents of all ages, but also meeting spaces, indoor and outdoor sports and exercise amenities, and a popular playground and park. To learn more about the Center, please visit its webpage at: Linwood Recreation Center for complete information on activities, events, amenities, as well as how to register.

Linwood Recreation Center

Be sure to visit the Sam Morgan Prairie Restoration Site, which is overseen by the Summit Hill Association Environment and Beautification Committee and the City of St. Paul Parks and Recreation Department. It is named after longtime Summit Hill resident and conservationist Samuel H. Morgan, and is a surviving remnant of the native prairies that once flourished on the hillsides and bluffs along the Mississippi River in the Twin Cities. Overlooking the bluffs by the eastern end of the park near Avon Street, this area was rediscovered in the late 1990s and was restored and preserved. It’s an important community asset and another reminder of our heritage in the historic Summit Hill neighborhood.----------------------------------------------------------------------So If Sam Morgan comes up in a clue, or a very close reference to the 1969 site Maybe? And this noodle is complete...this has about a 1% chance btw...lolMike

10 - Trout Brook
TYCM

I know it’s not there. But something like the pleasant avenue arena parking lot or something sticks out to me in that regard.   A place to play in hot and cold suggests a dome or arena or the like to me.   That said I am certain it’s not there either haha…
