Also a French connection would be nice. By the mid-17th century, “mere l’oye” or “mere oye” (Mother Goose) was a phrase commonly used in France to describe a woman who captivated children with delightful tales. In 1697, Charles Perrault published a collection of folktales with the subtitle “Contes de ma mère l’oye” (Tales from my Mother Goose), which became beloved throughout France and was translated into English in 1729. And in England, circa 1765, John Newbery published the wildly popular “Mother Goose’s Melody, or, Sonnets for the Cradle,” which indelibly shifted the association of Mother Goose from folktales to nursery rhymes and children’s poetry, and which influenced nearly every subsequent Mother Goose publication.

What is that in the lower right corner of the image? Is that a boot? following the checkered pattern that corner should be dark but it isn't. I think it's a boot!

I wonder why you quoted the 17th century connection where one paragraph earlier in your source it mentions 8th century origin with Bertrada II of Laon (mother of Charlemagne, the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire) who was a patroness of children known as “Goose-foot Bertha” or “Queen Goosefoot” due to a malformation of her foot. Laon being in northern France region. The connection is strong enough. Now the task of finding the actual layout of the park in 1980s.

This is probably nothing new but I saw it and thought I'd point it out. pretty similar and pointing toward Armstrong park. Not that that means anything.

Hard to say, another interesting area in New Orleans. One of the more interesting “solves” that I’ve seen had the burial spot in Duncan Plaza across from City Hall. If you count the concrete blocks along Perdido St. there are 21 from end to end, so this woman proposed digging behind block 11. I see the word “City” on the hand in the image, thought City Park, but could be City Hall? If you look at the image the bottom right corner of the checkerboard pattern looks like a mound. There isn’t a whole lot of topography in New Orleans, fairly flat, although Duncan Plaza does have a couple mounds like this. One of the tougher puzzles, but once you’re at the treasure ground it should all make sense.

Another reason to like City Park is the top right corner of the window in Tupperwerewolves. It says “Tad” very clearly and only one I’ve ever heard of is Tad Gormley who the stadium in City Park is named for. A football field has 21 lines from end zone to end zone so might explain the verse line. Boston was a baseball field so why not a football field for New Orleans? Some of the characters on the gates surrounding Tad Gormley Stadium resemble the “dig jax” boy in the image as well.

If it's in City Park football field then why would the boy's socks read DIG JAX?! Unless it's DIG IN. This works for an eatery OR a football field. Look up football DIG route or football IN route.

I’m with you...I don’t believe it’s “dig jax”, just referenced the character as that since that’s what most people know it as. I kind of hope it’s not in a football field, but it COULD be after Boston. The olive in Tupperwerewolves kind of looks like a football going through uprights in the jar.
