Geocache Description:


This cache is placed in honor of A (2009 All-You-Can-Eat SJG) Christmas Story! We are hiding these so that everyone can pick up a few extra caches and learn a bit about our endearing hero.

Higbee’s department store was the stage for three scenes in “A Christmas Story.” The first is the opening scene in which Ralphie spies the Red Ryder BB Gun. The second time we catch a glimpse of this Midwest icon is the parade scene just before Ralphie goes to see Santa. The final view is Ralphie and Randy’s visit to see Santa which was filmed inside of Higbee’s.

Higbee’s was the first department store in the greater Cleveland area. The 12-floor Higbee Company building was the anchor for Cleveland’s Public Square from its opening in 1931 until its eventual close in January 2002. Higbee’s kept the Santa slide that was made especially for the movie and used it for several years after the movie’s release. You can check out the “Related Web Page” for more information about the original Higbee Company Department Store.

Although you won’t find Higbee’s here, you can catch a glimpse of several of the large department stores which anchor the mall. You are looking for a small Lock&Lock which contains a few small swap items, a logbook and pencil. You will need to be very sneaky and watch for breaks in the traffic light to retrieve this one.
