Geocache Description:

Micro container. Please bring your own pen/cil.
After losing the container for a second time, I've tweaked this cache.

In the 1950's when Mr. Little established his Ford dealership way out the Durham Blvd, it sparked development in this area.

In the 1970's the city limit sign was near the entrance to his business.

Mr. Little, who died in 2002, played football for UNC. If I find his stats, I'll add them later.

Original contents include: Geocache Army soldier (from 'Altacache 1'), non-trackable 43-13 coin (from 'Which one holds the key'), USCG Barque Eagle coin, Macy's 80th parade pin, Butterfly Conservatory smushed coin, Casino Niagara magnet, toy cars, plastic bugs, Kroger pharmacy keychain, and a Florida Keys magnet.

ETA: The link below is for a Nov. 22, 1937 sports brief in Time Magazine (last item). He scored the go-ahead touchdown and UNC beat Duke in football. (visit link)

And for all you lovers of latitude and longitude, here is a link to the NC General Assembly notes from 1967 which lists the boundaries for Chapel Hill. (visit link)
