Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.... Or is it? This should be a quick field puzzle.

NOTE: Please rehide well, as this can easily be spotted if it is sticking out.

Back when I was a teenager, this arcade was the go to spot to hang out.  Unfortunately, they closed shop back in 2008. When I found this container, it made me think back to those times.
