Re: Tampa Clues
Help with a couple questionable clues

But what about the wrongly named road; the only wrongly named road I knew was the crosstown expressway which was wrongly named on many maps with the incorrect highway designation number, but the coin was north not south of it.

I didn't play the Tampa region, but I assume the clue meant south of E. Columbus Dr. which should be E. 16th Ave. to keep with the street numbering.

Tampa clue about East 4th Ave?
Columbia on 7th Ave

Chris , which Columbia were you at? The Columbia is on 7th Ave, 4th is several blocks south. I also assume the 401 with zero missing is hwy 41 ( same as 21st) which is the location of the Columbia.

The East 4th Ave answer is from jaybertx. As I said before, I didn't play the Tampa region. Yes, the coin was found on 7th Ave.

If zero is removed, it leaves 41' (41 feet). The Hard Rock guitar was described as being 41 feet long when first installed.

East 4th was the "oriens quartos" clue. We never solved the 401 clue.

Re: Atlanta Coin
Details about the Atlanta find

yes, please give the details on the Atlanta coin!!!!!

The coin was hidden in a small park at the corner of Auburn Ave and Fort Street, next to the I-75/85 overpass. If you know Atlanta, you know this is a scary place - even in the day time. I don't know the name of the park, because the sign was missing. The sign posts are there, but the 2'x4' panel that contains the park name had been stolen. Obviously, someone was using it for a blanket, or something. In the little urban park, there's a curved architectural stone wall that leads to a small, circular fountain. 20 feet from the fountain is the MLK face sculpture without the eyes (from the clue: "the famous man with something mssng"). The coin was hidden somewhere near the fountain or the sculpture. It wasn't there at noon on Monday, so it was placed within the 12 hours prior to the 29th clue.

Just in case you were wondering, that park is called Dobbs Plaza and the statue/mask is the John Wesley Dobbs Memorial (not MLK).

The artist, Ralph Helmick, has some pretty impressive work

Thanks for the update on what happened there. I was down there in the afternoon both on Tuesday and Wednesday, obvsiously too late. No way I would have been in that part of town at 3am. Wish Dr Pepper had chosen a safer spot, and released the clues during daylight, but whatever... still a fun contest.

Nope. I thought it was supposed to have been last week, but I stupidly deleted that email. : (

The clues seem to point to the coin being under a third bridge near the main building within the LSU Hilltop Arboretum grounds off of Highland Rd. I've never been there so I have no idea if such a bridge exists.

Boston Area

Apparently they held the Boston area drawing. Here's the email I received:

Dear Amy,

Thanks for your inquiry and thanks for playing.

Dr Pepper conducted a drawing and drew a winner, but they were waiting for
the winner to complete his/her paperwork before announcing, but sorry you
did not win.

Thanks for participating.
