Persistence can payoff if you plant a positive seed;

Streets and some Lanes, and even some Drives,
Just when you have given up “hope” it arrives;
Catching your breath as you juggle the clues,
Between Boulevards are Circles and some Avenues.
Explanation:
The main line in here is between boulevards, CR Boulevard and Mississippi Blvd-- Hanson Blvd and Crooked Lake Blvd. There are many city owned properties which may fit this but it would narrow the spots.

Chances are a showy bulb will go off after all,
Possibly the one that was named for this man we recall.

Dashing around will get you nowhere fast,
The place that you find it will surely be the last;
Somewhat deceptive and obscure sound the clues,
In gauging the rhymes the feathered friends you should choose.
Explanation:
My mom used to tell me it would be in the last place I look, I had to do it. Of course the feathered friends clue is to the bird streets grid in our city.

Clue #9

The look is not quite what it says in the name,
A large form of mice once excelled at this game;
Its color resembled the monster before it was razed,
Let’s win one for Paul, we remember and praised.
Explanation:
This clue is all about the past/history. First line references Riverview although you really can't see it from there.
Line 2 is about the River Rats a local softball team from the 70's. The Monster recalls the original Little League Park with the high dark green fence from the 60's that was torn down when the new complex was built. Finally not Wellstone but in memory of our friend Paul Perez a fixture at Riverview Park and the CR National/Cardinal Little League.

The second day clue would have put you across from the mark,
But the question comes up,” Is it part of the park?”
