West Side Story, Webster Groves - WSS:WG
West Side Story is a musical Romeo and Juliet story.
The Sharks and the Jets are two feuding street gangs in 1950's New York, the Jets being White and the Sharks being Puerto Rican. At a dance at a gym, Jet Tony falls in love with a Shark's sister, Maria. They know they can't be together because of the gang's war, but that doesn't stop them.
Meanwhile, the two gangs prepare for a rumble, and Tony tries to stop it out of love for Maria. In the process, his best friend and Jet leader Riff is killed by Maria's brother, Bernardo. In anger, Tony kills Bernardo. He then realizes his mistake (killing his love's brother) and begs for forgiveness, which, of course, Maria gives him. They decide they have to leave the city, and the pointless hate, behind them. They plan to meet at Doc's Candy Store and take a bus to the country.
Chino, the Shark Maria is supposed to marry, vows to kill Tony. Maria begs Anita, Bernardo's fiancé, to tell Tony she will be a little late to meet him at Doc's Candy Store. When Anita is mauled by the Jets, she angrily tells them that Maria is dead, murdered by Chino.
So as you go for this cache you might consider which West Side Story character you identify with the most, because searching for this cache will be your own West Side Story!
When looking for this cache fancy dances moves are okay, but there is no need to hop the fence. Like WSS, the action is not very far from the street.
Good luck, and happy caching.
