Geocache Description:

With the Downtown revitalization we thought a fun, and possibly educational stroll to some of the sites was in order.

This is a nano cache.
All the sites are accessible by a wheelchair, but the final cache can't be retrived by someone that is wheelchair bound.
Bring a pen and tweezers.
