Geocache Description:

A sad and bizarre resting place for the only remains of a historic San Diego landmark.

This is a puzzle cache and the posted coordinates are NOT a waypoint for this geocache. However, if you head directly east of the coordinates for just over one kilometer you will find a related historic San Diego landmark. Visit the box office of this place of performance and they may be able to help you with the information you need. Use the following formula to calculate a new longitude: A = street number of address B = Year opened C = Number of letters in family name of building Travel by foot to 32'42.930 N 117'(C).(B-954) W What building stood here until 2006? Use the number of letters in its full name as the value for D. You'll now need to drive to the final location to find the remains of the building at: 32'(D*3+5).3C7 N 117'(D-1).(B-1012) W Thanks to FTFs Chuy & Duncan there is now a container at the location. Watch out for low flying aircraft. To confirm your visit, decrypt the hints/spoilers. Good luck!
