Treasure Hunt 3

Treasure Hunt 3 begins now.

The rules [or lack thereof] are the same as for the first two.

Examine the picture. Study the clue and hit the comments link with your answer.


Clue Number 1: The Man in Black knew that life was not always easy for everybody.

Clue Number 2 [4/3/08]: Once there were 3 R’s amid a street of bars.

Clue Number 3 [4/11/08]:
  • Hammerstein met Rogers, Gamble met Proctor, Bigelow met Brown
    Bringing culture and soap and telling about it in places all around.
    Pastor meets social worker meets mortician meets town.
    Can somebody please give us the real lowdown?
Clue Number 4 [4/19/08]:

Think of a Catholic haven.
Think of a Lutheran church.
Think of children playin’.
Remember where it hurts.

Clue Number 5 [4/27/08]:
Clue Number 5 is this larger picture







Clue Number 6 [5/6/08]

A Bluff has both up and down.
And don’t think about a department store.
Forget that street across town
Or a Senator from yore.

None of them matters here.
Put them out of your mind.
Don’t shed for them a tear
And maybe the prize you will find.

Clue Number 7 [5/18/08]

This is the top of a tree [Surprised?], a threatened tree. Regular readers of this site [both of you] might have extra insights about why this tree was chosen to be placed here.

Clue Number 8 [5/29/08]

You don't really think that I could go more than two hunts without having an East Side site, do you?

Clue Number 9 [6/29/08]
Think about Phalen Park.
It’s not in Phalen Park, but that first line is relevant, anyway.

Hello,

This is the conifer in front of the Governors mansion.

d.n. berg is still the two-time champion CCM Treasure Hunter.

It is not at 1006 Summit

I received a reply which was close enough to be considered a correct response.

It was submitted without any name.

Since the only thing we have to give here is the public acknowledgement that the somebody has it right, that would live the “winner” without any “prize.”

So I have deleted it. If the finder indeed wants to submit it anonymously and it wasn’t a mistake, he/she can feel free to submit it again. Or it can be submitted signed and all the glory due will be accorded.

Otherwise, you all will have a few more days to get it. If nobody gets it soon, I will put the anonymous guess up and close the hunt.

It’s the big tree in Sue’s Park at Payne and Rose, the site of the old Phalen Park School. It is lit up during the Winter holiday season.

There is a Lutheran church across the street, but I don’t get the Catholic part and children play across the street at a rec center.

The threat is probably the Sue’s Park threat you reported earlier.

I don’t understand the Rogers and Hammerstein or Brown and Bigelow stuff and I can’t figure out the bluff or the sentor, but I imagine that you will us.

Actually, I live so close that I would be embarrassed it people knew how long it took me to post this, so I will leave it anonymous.
