Wednesday Where? #3

First, Merry Christmas Eve everyone.  Hope you are having a wonderful day, be safe if you are traveling.

Here is this today’s photo.  I’m out of town as of 5:00 this morning so no guarantees hints will be posted.  I’ll try and get a few up by Friday.  I won’t post the answer until 8 hours after the third hint is up.  I hope this one is harder than last week, but I think it could be another easy one.  The photo  was taken somewhere within the Minneapolis/St. Paul 7 county area(PDF).   No prizes will be offered, other than the pride of knowing your city better than you ever should. Enjoy.

Hint #1 First acquired in 1883 by the board of parks commissioners.

Hint #2 The 5th Fibinochi Number and the founder of the Union Fire Company

Hint #3 A cardinal direction and the side of a flowing body of water.

    Not a clue where this is, though somehow reminds me of Minnehaha area. Those steps look treacherous.

    Somewhere in and around here?

    I swear I slid down that exact set of stairs (although it was dark and several years ago)…

    Bill is the winner, it’s in Riverside Park right off West Riverside Parkway. I couldn’t give an exact location since I took the photo over a month ago. I had to go digging through my stored photos to find something for this week. Thanks to everyone that participated.

    oh noez I’ve been tricked! But I still got it right, I know that in my conscience. And I actually figured it out the day this was posted but didn’t have enough faith but now that three clues are out, I discovered I had been right all along.

    I’m posting my answer anyway, even though the entry still said:
    “5 people have been wrong. Join them. Comment”
    And even though clicking on the comment link revealed other people’s answers, I too have already discovered that the location in question is none other than Riverside Park, not far from Franklin and the street coinciding with the 5th Fibonacci number.

    And I was right from day one but wasn’t sure. Today I was sure, then I discovered I was too late.
    Wow this is a dramatic comment!
    I’m finished now :)
    I look forward to the next Where!
