"Tall is too small," the barista said,
"Starbucks  recommends the medium instead. "

What Hoover hammered out of the park
Was a curveball with a generous arc.

The Venus you see through your naked eye's lense
Shines like a star that has no friends.

We'll reveal the answer and explain the clues in tomorrow's Traveler.

I'm afraid that Shenandoah National Park is way cold, Ellen. Try working the other side of the Mississippi.

The Cardinals vote for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. Too bad Pujols won't be there to test that arc this year?

Not quite there yet, Ellen, but very, very close. Just name the park intimately related to the one you mentioned.

Iowa is west of the Mississippi – surely someone has already guessed the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site.
You may have stumped me as I am running out of guesses.  I will let my brain rest awhile to see if I can guess any other reasonable locations later today.  I will eagerly wait for the unveiling tomorrow and the explanation of the clues…
