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 placed a series of caches at each of New Jersey's retail locations.
The Riverdale store was one we never visited, though it seems like it must've been huge at one point. The inside looks all empty and barren, but there might be construction going on inside.
This cache shouldn't require any special tools, just the usual stealth. Put on your suburban camo and find that cache! Please bring a writing implement and re-hide the cache where you found it.
Be stealthy, my friends, and keep on caching!
Congratulations to BrewmanPete+Shelly on FTF!
