Have we had any more elaboration on the Boston Parking Garage clue? I live rigth in that area, I could go down and check it out.

I can see a reference to the Blue Line subway, but I can't read the street. I'm gonna try and enhance the image and get the rest of that text.

I'm very interested in this.


you thinks thats the boston commons garage?

This is too exciting.

Why couldn;t there be one in philly. I live in S New Jersey.


Aren't a lot of the ARG'er in Orlando right now for some kind of meeting/convention thing? Is anyone in touch with them?

Didn't Sunny say she was going there?

Sunny, if you're reading this, it's up to you to do the recon!

I did a little enhancing in photoshop of the note, ended up with a few J-name streets. Boston common garage is an interesting possibility though.

Whatever it is, Blue Line, and "J___ Str" are the clues.

Looking through some maps, I think it might be Jarvis Pl. But I can't see if there's a parking garage there or not.

I'm definitely considering going down this weekend to take a look, but I want to have a direction before I go.

Under "Blue Line" on ethans notes

My best guess would be :

Division Sta

which is mentioned on the cyberia chicago webpage - as the station to stop when taking the Blue Line

It was mentioned on that website? Could you perchance show me, it seems like an odd thing to mention, a Blue Line stop in Boston mentioned on a Chicago website.

I was thinking it might be in the Harvard Square parking garage, since its off of Jarvis Street, I swear I see a "J" in that note.

Though you're answer is equally possible with the info given. But could you elaborate on the Cyberia thing? ^_^

Hmm...I'm debating whether I should ask my friend at Cornell to go check out the library for me, now that we know that these things are something real. No one here lives in that area in upstate NY? It's only a teeny little four hour drive from the city...Smile

I looked up the book in the Cornell library catalog, and the call number and stuff is exactly right. The problem is that there are multiple copies, spread throughout four different libraries...I don't know how far away the libraries are from each other, and it would just be really strange to ask about this when I don't even know what we would be looking for. Writing in the book? A little note or something? A note might fall out or be removed...unless a librarian there is in on it, heh. If that's the case, grr, I almost wish I was going there now...well, no, it's way too cold up there, but still. Very Happy

i would think that calling/emailing random people might cause them to remove whatever is meant for us... (if they dont know what this is about)

Library info

Okay here is the library holding info for these books:

Indiana:
The Wisdon of the Body

http://search.imcpl.org/ipac-cgi/ipac?tm=bib&db=IMCPL&lb=IMCPL&cs=49192202&sf=p&fd=1&dc=24&cd=7&sm=d&so=d&ft=c&df=a&sf=p&sl=l&se=%2EtwThe+%2EtwWisdom+%2Etwof+%2Etwthe+%2EtwBody&de=The+Wisdom+of+the+Body&uk=&st=a&sn=15&ls=1&ts=master&mc=use&bc=web&ut=&sd=IMCPL&bd=IMCPL

It is in the "Collection" meaning it is a Non-circulating AUDIO CASSETE.

Portland:
The Science of Illusions

http://ipac.multcolib.org/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=MG6P247262625.7928&profile=dial&uri=link=1100002@!1190031@!1100001@!1100002&aspect=basic_search&menu=search&ri=1&source=192.220.128.74@!dial&term=The+science+of+illusions+%2F&index=TL#focus

The holding we are looking for is in the Central Library and appears to be a circulating copy.

I'm glad that my skills finally came in handy!

JB,

You are right, but they might be able to do some of the foot work for us, especially if no one playing is in the area.

Here is the reponse I got:
Quote:

Dear Christopher,

Thank-you for contact the Aladdin Resort and Casino. You would need to contact
the Desert Passage Mall to see if they would have found this. They can be
contacted at 702-866-0710 or there is a link on our web page that will link you
to their web page. If I can be of additional assistance please let me know.

Best regards,
Jennifer Hoppe
Call Center Supervisor
Aladdin Resort and Casino


Can anyone call?

Stop it! Don't call just yet, plz. I'm gonna call my friend and see if she can drive out there right now. I'd hate for her to go there only to find it has been removed by security or whatever. Smile

Ok, I just spoke to her. She can't go until tomorrow morning. Her and I are trying to get this other girl to do it. Problem is, I've been out of the game for the last few days - didn't even know about these clues until about 20 minutes ago. Someone plz tell me what exactly she would be looking for - a CD somewhere near a payphone? Or what?
