Nice. That would also account for the "killing cats, however, arrives knowledge." Maybe Elysian park is next?

Elysian or Griffith, I think. Griffith Park is the home of both the new Zoo and the Bronson Caves. You cross a red bridge to get to the cave. Could be the "caves of blood."

Pots and pans or silverware? What was the answer between oven and fridge?

Alright, so posted as a comment on Grace's blog was:
Quote:
the island of misfit toys said...
so close you think you are
and yet so very far
so concentrated on the zoo
perhaps another clue
use the first letter
and sometimes the second, too
(there's one word where we cheated
but what else could we do?)
that's our last clue
we hope it helps you
now we'll put on our hats
and go back to killing cats
I'll start looking on the words.
Edit: Oh! We made riddle 2 and 3! Excellent.

Here's what I'm working on for the Crypto. I'm assuming the periods and commas are word breaks. This leaves you with 9 words which matches the number of dots on the table in the doodle. Also, I suspect the double dash (--) signifies that 2 letters need to be used either from "beam" or "hold". So maybe:
psfb hsbeh sbm mppn cp cob kc h ak
or
psfb hsbho sbm mppn cp cob kc h ak
I'm having no luck with either one, though. And I'm too busy at work to mess with it now, but maybe that'll help someone.

Ahh, so it is the periodic table. Using the first 26 elements then converting to letters.
Should have got it from Mnemosyne ( Mn = 25 =y ) Mayberry?

Here's the message and how to get it...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Take either the first letter or the first two letters from each word (except for Milligrams we will use Mg). Look up these letters on the periodic table and grab their atomic number. Change the numbers into letters based on their place in the alphabet.
P S F B H Si Be H Si Be Mn Mg P P Na Ca P Ca O B K Ca H Ar K
15 16 9 5 1 14 4 1 14 4 25 12 15 15 11 20 15 20 8 5 19 20 1 18 19
OPIE AND ANDY LOOK TO THE STARS
Already commented on Grace's post, but not sure if there's more to do on this or not.

As that sentence doesn't mean anything to Grace, maybe there's more to it? O.o I have no idea what to do though. And nice work on the letters !

there's a Mayberry Restaurant in Pacific Palisades, a Los Angeles suberb. Maybe Grace must take a looksee there?
