mgbmusic's original description:
This is the latest in a series of local landmarks that I will be placing around my area. If you have any landmarks around you that fit the description below, feel free to throw out some in your area as well! If you do so, please use the same title format - "LL #X - Local Landmarks - XXXXXXXXXX" If the landmark relates to a business or anything that may conflict with cache guidelines, a number will work, or perhaps a more creative solution ;).
I am defining a "Local Landmark" as a place around you where, if someone asks where you are or where you're going, you can say "such and such" and anyone will know what you're talking about.
This landmark was a staple during my college years. There are a number of specialty shops that I quite enjoy, along with the usual "Big Box" type stores. It's been around forever, it seems, and is one of the busier places in Chicago. I actually worked in two different places here during my college years.
The cache hide is nothing special. I was across the street getting a tire repaired and had 90 minutes to kill, so I headed off to this place, bought a container and paper and hid it. I didn't do any advance scouting or anything, and didn't have the time/resources to "make" something, so bear with me. I'll probably be back some time to replace in my signature container. It's a smiley. Maybe a nice quicky while Christmas shopping...
