This Sign of the Times (SOT) series is designed to highlight
various locations indicative of the current economic environment
that businesses are facing. There are a total of seventeen caches
on this journey. It is designed to be a fun and easy series. They

for a limited time only! Found within the container of the first
sixteen caches will be a clue that will be used to locate the
seventeenth and final cache: SOT 17: Epitome. The clues will
either be alpha or numeric; this will be important to the final
puzzle so please make a note. The order is important as well.

it is a Wells Fargo. For a limited time only, you have two of the

where the cache is located will eventually close when the lease
expires). That is a weird Sign of the Times.
The cache is a matchstick container
