Round #8 FOUND
Driven by darkness,
I flew towards the light,
to a quiet fortress of copper and might.
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
I couldn’t help but wonder,
is this Frankenstein’s house?

The grande dame of the Island,
back in the day.
Just ten minutes from Oakland Airport,
they used to say.
Checked in with my cardinal close by my side
and all sorts of creatures - not trying to hide.
Please join us for this visual treat
but If you come in a car,
please park on the street.

Round #7 FOUND
It may not be the North Pole
but around these parts it plays the role
Look around, so much to see
Look down the middle, if you want to find me.
Elves and trees and lights and fun
Where letters are mailed and the reindeer run.

Cassandra Inocencio
Thompson Ave (Fernside end)
$40 Gift Card To Toy Safari
Round #5 FOUND
The cold sent me from outside, in
For a nip of brandy (or maybe gin?!)
Because sometimes a room serves as a house
when the news of the day, you need to rouse.
The proprietress, a smart and sassy lass,
will see you get a generous glass!
An anchor, handed down, this be -
a mainstay in this growing city.
So, belly up with a smile and say,
“Hello, everyone! Laoise (Lee-sha) sent me!”
(To find the Golden Crow, yes, you literally need to say that!).

Farah Giovanna
Club House Lounge
1215 Park Street
$50 Gift Card to Feathered Outlaw
Round #4 FOUND
Five or six steps from the end I’ll be
among the leaves at a gnarly tree.
I hope it isn’t a sign of the times
here where folks work out
their daily grinds.
But I don’t see cows or crops, do you?
I see stretchers, and strollers
and lots of cars, too.
Winner(s):

Larry Wadford
End of Packet Landing Road

$30 Gift Certificate to

Round #2 FOUND
Come meet my new artsy friend!
We're hanging out on the Wild end.
He's a bit of a shiny, standoffish fella
and he looks sort of like
a skinny umbrella.
Together, we look out at the blue
and dream of travel,
though a different two.

Round #3 FOUND
It’s rocky where I’ll start this riddle
At the crossroads, close to the middle
Under a lamp by a forgotten shell
Where some women remember another one well
Away from the wet, I managed to squeeze
As I sit and ponder, who the heck is Louise?
Winner(s):

Memorial
Alameda Ave/Central
$30 Gift Certificate to

Round #1 FOUND
How lonely I am
on this tree-named street
where curious wee ones
used to meet.
Outside the gate,
my beak is stuck.
Please help me! Find me!
Good day and good luck!
