This cache is being placed as a memorial to Borders Books & Music.
I got the idea for what became a series of 16 caches from my wife's former workplace. She was employed at Borders Books & Music in Bridgewater, NJ, from 2002 through 2006. Borders, of course, was one of the United States' two largest brick and mortar bookstores. However, due to overexpansion, bad management, and the surge of Amazon as a book purveyor and e-book leader, Borders was forced into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The owners were unable to find a buyer for the company, and all its retail locations closed by September 2011.
In order to honor the memory of the good times both she and I had here, I'm going to begin placing a series of caches at each of New Jersey's retail locations.
This cache is the third of the series. The Flemington store was one of our "hey-we're-in-the-area-let's-stop-in" stores. My wife had a couple of co-workers who switched here when this store was opened.
This hiding place is a little more exposed because the stores still around where Borders used to be are all open. Please bring your own writing implement, and re-hide the cache where you found it.
As usual, be stealthy, my friends, and keep on caching!
Congratulations to Ollie's Follies for the FTF!
