What happened to Dr. Livingston? He must live by Cherokee park on Livingston street. Hence why he's pushing us to a small park. Wonder if he'll be at CP tonight.

New Daddy- Here I am Eastside Boys. I was out today and there were about 50 people at Beaver Lake. I'm sure it's at the Beav. Two Sisters - 08:55pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2507 of 8457)
New Daddy, Eastside boys -
It's not at Beaver Lake! Can't be. Too small. Besides, Rosewood estates is waaaaaaay stretching it. Mchenry Larsen - 08:56pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2508 of 8457)
Lets get this rosebud outa the way..in" with capital R it is a proper name..I.E> Citezen Caines sled when he was a boy..I say Mounds or CS...now Stretched the double division many ways I need another clue Eastside Boys - 08:57pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2509 of 8457)
Two Sisters- Rosewood Estates has nothing to do with it! Rose St runs into Beaver Lake at Edgewater. And a small St between McKnight and Stillwater is Bud St! mother dole - 08:57pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2510 of 8457)
ya know, i spent some time at cherokee today, that's where i think it is... but nevertheless, i was thinkig about rosebud, from the movie citizen kane... and that movie was all about a newspaperman... and the pioneer press is just down the hill from mounds... makes me think twice about mounds Two Sisters - 08:57pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2511 of 8457)
Jess - The women who found it at Battle Creek spelled out the first letters of each clue B-A-T-T-L-E. That's pretty obvious. Then its just pure luck. Nobody knows where that thing is (well, except the person who hid it). And if they did, would they risk their job telling someone?

Two Sisters You should have seen the site with six clues in your hand. IMPOSSIBLE! Eastside Boys - 09:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2514 of 8457)
If you would like to see all the clues fit together go to search and put in Eastside Boys and choose my first posting and you'll become a Beaver Lake fan soon! Two Sisters - 09:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2515 of 8457)
Eastside boys - Bud street is not even on the map. It's not there. Perhaps you want it to be there because your from the Eastside. Don't know. If it's at Beaver, we'll eat the paper with your picture's in it. Eastside Boys - 09:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2516 of 8457)
New Daddy, Thanks for the tip-it makes our case that much stronger! Eastside Boys - 09:04pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2517 of 8457)
Two Sisters-your absolutely right because the street is on the other side of the lake in Maplewood! Bubba - 09:04pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2518 of 8457)

Eastside boys - already read your first posting. But I think you are reading too much into it. Why is the blvd. a double division? A division maybe, but why double?
Mother Boserud - the pioneer press building isn't just down the hill from Mounds. Two Sisters - 09:08pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2522 of 8457)
Can't be Beaver. You're making the park fit the clues rather than the clues fit the park. mother dole - 09:10pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2523 of 8457)

before mother dole - 09:22pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2538 of 8457)
two sisters, it is WAAAY down the hill... the big hill, down by the river. THE HILL. like part of the scenery, you know.... NSP, Capital, 1st bank, airport, PIONEER PRESS. :) AirBourn - 09:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2539 of 8457)
What's the latest on the code/mode/lode stuff? mother dole - 09:23pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2540 of 8457)

hi barry its almost 1130
; ;; Two Sisters - 09:25pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2545 of 8457)
mother boserud - we thought we were talking to an elderly woman (or are we?). No were not single. Sorry. New Daddy - 09:26pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2546 of 8457)
See Ya later at the Beave. Two Sisters - 09:27pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2547 of 8457)
mother boserud - there is no smokestack at beaver lake, but apparently you can see smoke from 3m. Quite a stretch we think. Eastside Boys - 09:27pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2548 of 8457)
Mother Boserud-ok- the smokestack's come from the 3M plant 1/2 mile away! mother dole - 09:27pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2549 of 8457)
two sisters, it's my son... he's a great guy, 35, he needs to find a good woman... don't know what his problem is hoosline - 09:28pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2550 of 8457)

was digging today south of the play area at cherokee... due east of winona (city) with both the capital and stack in view... was sure i was gonna hit the mother lode! but now i'm back waitin for the new beaver lake clue :) mother dole - 09:34pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2560 of 8457)
two sisters, the only hope for my son is to find that medallion and then go out and buy himself a woman :) shooting star - 09:35pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2561 of 8457)
demo and mode and all that means what the thing is hidden in. Like a CD case or tape case. Two Sisters - 09:35pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2562 of 8457)
AirBourne - we think crack the code means to unscramble demo and mode for dome and dome. But not sure what it means. You can see the Cathedral dome from Cherokee park. Also, in the far distance you can see two big dome-like water towers. Maybe you can see these from where the medallion actually is, although this is just one sister's opinion. Two Sisters - 09:36pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2563 of 8457)
The last time it was at Cherokee, one of the clues referred to the Cathedral dome. kgb - 09:37pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2564 of 8457)
sister sister i think the focus is downtown also if you don't blow your stack and go see the stack(from cp) you'll soon be back(to cherokee) something tells me it's between the hospital and the playground at i love my mounds mother dole - 09:37pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2565 of 8457)
you can see the capital dome from cherokee too, but only in a few places... same with the blue domes to the east which are the highland water towers Two Sisters - 09:38pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2566 of 8457)
Boserud - have him check out siberianwomen.com I've seen this website advertised before and told a single male friend of mine to check it out. Apparently they want to come to the states real bad. Back to the Medallion - are you going back to Mounds or are you waiting for the next clue? mother dole - 09:38pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2567 of 8457)
why was dome park on division st. at the st. paul/maplewood border ruled out? mother dole - 09:41pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2568 of 8457)
the first place i looked was the part of cherokee right near the high bridge... there is that set of binoculars (large object "in view", and also "zoom") plus the other stack, water, view, track references fit. anyone else try that spot? mother dole - 09:42pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2569 of 8457)
everyone must be out at beaver lake :) Two Sisters - 09:42pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2570 of 8457)
mother verbea - dome park (actually, Goodrich) is in maplewood, not St. Paul. Larpenteur is the border, not N. St. Paul Road. Besides, this park is too small - just like Beaver. And, there are not smoke stacks. mother dole - 09:42pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2571 of 8457)
should call my son Cheryl Straight - 09:43pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2572 of 8457)
Heard some others asking about the binocs earlier today. Don't know if they actually checked there.. shooting star - 09:44pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2573 of 8457)
We were on the East side of the park by the division and city streets mother dole - 09:44pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2574 of 8457)
in my street guide (hudson's) beaver lake pk. looks about the size of cherokee Two Sisters - 09:44pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2575 of 8457)
mother verbea - don't know where these binoculars are, but we think this is definitely a good idea. Are they on the same end of the park as the play area and Anapolis? This is where we think it is. Cheryl Straight - 09:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2576 of 8457)
The binocs are by the High bridge..opposite end of the park from sled hill and Annapolis and on the other side of Smith AirBourn - 09:47pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2577 of 8457)
Okay, so if you believe that the demo/mode thing describes what it's hidden in, then what's Rosebud? shooting star - 09:49pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2578 of 8457)
"Rosebud" is a brand name of a sled. kgb - 09:49pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2579 of 8457)
casey r u out there? Two Sisters - 09:50pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2580 of 8457)
AirBourn - have you been airborne? Everyone seems to think Rosebud is a sled from the movie Citizen Kane, hence referring to the sledding hill. I'm not completely sold on this idea, but my sister is and so seems to be the majority. Phil Peterson - 09:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2581 of 8457)
sister sister the binocs are on the east side of smith right off the high bridge if you take a left on cherokee instead of right. so to answer the question its at the opposite ned of annapolis and plaground etc. etc. AirBourn - 09:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2582 of 8457)
Heh - I don't thingk it's a brand name of a sled. Maybe a little brush-up on your literature....
What are you people thinking about 'lode'? It's obviously mis-spelled for a reason, right? mother dole - 09:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2583 of 8457)
rosebud is from the movie citizen kane which is about a newspaper tycoon, and the pioneer press factory (actually the lighted PIONEER PRESS) is visible from mounds. albeit the pp is a sorry excuse for a newspaper. Two Sisters - 09:51pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2584 of 8457)
We're signing off for now. See you at Cherokee at 11:30, unless your at Beaver. shooting star - 09:52pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2585 of 8457)
It's both. My Hubby saw that movie and said the same thing. AirBourn - 09:52pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2586 of 8457)
Sisters - read again, it wasn't me that mentioned 'brand name'.... shooting star - 09:54pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2587 of 8457)
"Lode" according to Websters means a mineral vein, like silver or gold. Two Sisters - 09:54pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2588 of 8457)
Airbourne - we know, but you asked what Rosebud was. Everyone seems to think the sled. AirBourn - 09:57pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2589 of 8457)
Gotcha, Sisters. I meant that, because some people were saying that 'Rosebud' could be some sort of pasta container that it's hidden in, then what's code/mode/lode? Or, if the code/demo thing means that it's in a CD case, then "Rosebud" must be the newspaper man's sled, right? David Hunter - 09:58pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2590 of 8457)
What does double-division mean?? shooting star - 10:00pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2591 of 8457)
Hey, What part of St. Paul is Beaver Lake on? mother dole - 10:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2592 of 8457)
there are 32 words in the first clue... divide by 2 once = 16, divide by 2 abain = 8... that is the double division... does anybody know what 8 might refer to at cherokee or mounds? AirBourn - 10:01pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2593 of 8457)
Well, I was thinking that a line of double division is Annapolis. It divides both st paul/wsp and Ramsey/Dakota cty. shooting star - 10:02pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2594 of 8457)
What part of town is Beaver Lake on? B.J. Mack - 10:07pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2595 of 8457)
IMPORTANT QUESTION-->
Is the clue available at the Pioneer Press Building in Downtown St. Paul at 11:30 p.m.?
I'm going to be downtown and want to just pick the clue up. B.J. Mack - 10:08pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2596 of 8457)

Airbourne - we think the double division is definitely Annapolis.

Where is Ivy Park????? ivyfallsp - 10:24pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2612 of 8457)
It is five blocks from Cherekee. It s small but it is a park. Go there, its there. AirBourn - 10:25pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2613 of 8457)
Ivy, Ivy Falls isn't in Ramsey Cty. It's impossible. ivyfallsp - 10:26pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2614 of 8457)

It's impossible. The rules say specifically that it will ALWAYS be in Ramsey County. selma and patty - 10:27pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2618 of 8457)
If there is such a place as Ivy Park it must be in W.St.Paul Terry Valentine - 10:28pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2619 of 8457)

Has the new clue been posted any earlier than 11:30? Two Sisters - 10:29pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2620 of 8457)
Reddog - No, we're waiting for the clue and then heading to Cherokee. Couldn't leave this stimulating converation.
ivyfallsp - I don't even see that park on my map. I see an ivy falls street, but its in Mendota Heights and not close to Ramsey co. line. mother dole - 10:29pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2621 of 8457)
hi selma and patty :) where you been diggin today? AirBourn - 10:29pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2622 of 8457)

Cherokee. It has to be there Two Sisters - 10:30pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2624 of 8457)
We agree with Airbourn Two Sisters - 10:31pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2625 of 8457)

Is everybody getting ready for the clue?!?
Let's have a poll. Just post which park you really think the medallion is in.
Here's some FAQs:
--What is "Rosebud"?
"Rosebud" is the sled from the classic film "Citizen Kane." Since the third clue often reveals what the medallion is hidden in, some believe it will be something related to rosebud. Also could be implying that it's hidden near a sledding hill.
--What is the "double division"?
Annapolis Street divides St. Paul from Mendota Heights/Lilydale/West St. Paul and Ramsey County from Dakota County. Unless, of course, you're trying to make the clues fit Mounds Park, in which case it's a street that divides Mounds Park twice.
Any other common answers to common questions? mother dole - 10:44pm Jan 31, 1998 CST (#2650 of 8457)
rosebud is from the movie citizen kane which is about a newspaper tycoon, and the pioneer press factory (actually the lighted
PIONEER PRESS) is visible from mounds. albeit the pp is a sorry excuse for a newspaper.

OK, people. "Double division" is the city/county border that runs along Cherokee, Annapolis Street. That's that.
La Rosa Pasta is apparently made on the West Side. Some think the medallion could be in one of their pasta boxes. Close enough to "rosebud," I suppose.
