You know that you’ve seen it. It
lurks on street signs and at entrances to neighborhoods and
shopping centers. Who knows where it will end up next?! It is
spreading like kudzu all over our fair city and will probably take
over the entire planet! What is it?
It’s THE PRETENTIOUS
E!!
You know you’ve found it when you see a sign that reads “Parke”
instead of “Park”. Or how about the sophisticated “Pointe” instead
of “Point”? There are just too many examples to list. Sometimes we
get so sick of seeing these ridiculous monikers that we just want
to scream from the rooftops: “Give us a break(e)!!!”
These coordinates will take you to an area that I call "The
Quintessential Pretentious E". You will be surrounded by that
little, completely unnecessary "E" - The road, the developments,
the marina - EVERYTHING!!
Quintessential means the perfect example of a given quality or
feature. This area is the perfect (quintessential) example of the
use of that silly little "E" in order to appear more sophisticated
and cosmopolitan. As you drive through the area you can feel
yourself wanting to change your name to Buffy (or Biff) and
wandering what you will have for dinner at The Club with your
nouveau riche friends. The air of superiority is thick. This is The
Good Life and you deserve it. But more important, you have the
money, you can buy it.
I warn you to get in, get the cache, and get out. If not quick
enough, you may find yourself wanting to wear lime green pants with
little palm trees embroidered on them, deck shoes without socks,
and a white cardigan thrown over your shoulders (and that's just
the men!)
The cache is a small Lock-N-Lock hidden in an absolutely empty area
along a new road. I don't know when construction along this road
will commence but we should have a lot of time to have fun with
this cache. There are some convenient aprons along the road to
park. You will be walking about 0.15 miles on a grassy slope and a
flat, potentially muddy area. As much as I wanted to I did not
include white zinfandel and brie amoung the trade items. The wine
would have broken the rules and the cheese would have been a tad
messy. There is, however, a pin for the FTF.
