Falling Star
LocAAtion, locAAtion, locAAtion!!! In honor of Ann Arbor's bicentennial, this badge series focuses on some of the past and present landmarks that makes Ann Arbor...well, ANN ARBOR!! Summer Game artist Mario Zucca created a brilliant map of the city we all love but may not fully know...YET!
Back in the TIME before TALKIES, folks looking for a COOL and COMFORTABLE show would head to the STAR Theatre! But the Star's Legacy is DARKER than its viewing room . . .

I’m having trouble after the first clue. Where you find everything for the the star all in place.

When you find that FIRST PICTURE, beneath the box with the CODE, there is a list of subjects! Click on the subject "Star Theater" and you'll get a webpage loading with EVERY article and photo we have that mentions the theater. From there, you can open up particular articles/pictures to find the info you need to answer the questions the other clues ask for! I know it's a LITTLE COMPLICATED, but you have to DIG DEEP to find this bit of old news! This badge DEFINITELY earns its VERY TRICKY rating!! Thanks for playing!!!

Instead of doing keyword searches for the remainder of your codes, you’ll want to browse the articles and pictures that show up when you select “Star Theater” as a subject. (When you find that FIRST PICTURE, beneath the box with the CODE, there is a list of subjects! Click on the subject "Star Theater" and you'll get a webpage loading with EVERY article and photo we have that mentions the theater. From there, you can open up particular articles/pictures to find the info you need to answer the questions the other clues ask for! ) See if you can find an article where they tell the story of what happened to kick off the Star Theater Riot!

Just like with the earlier codes, you'll want to browse through the articles and photos that show up when you choose the subject "Star Theater" -- when you get to one that has a headline that's associated with a March holiday (and shows images of the riot itself), open it up and you see what you find!!

I am really stuck on 5th after lengthy search, reread, all the pages of the previous 4 clues, the headers, the side bar menu, etc. I found the article with the picture of the law enforcement man, reread the article, and cannot find the "about" phrase. What am I missing?
The answer you're looking…
The answer you're looking for is in an article focusing on Red Howard and his perspective of the events. Focus on the "Theater Torn Apart" section. The answer is in there! Type in the number of students he estimated they jailed (minus the "about").
Let us know if you're still stuck and we can email you some help! Thanks for playing!!
Thank you. I was focused on…
Thank you. I was focused on numbers of rioters, not number arrested. Duh!
