UPDATE: I had to change the requirement for completion of this virtual cache because people have begun to copy & paste the answer from Wikipedia... note the change below... You are searching for a Solemn Momument dedicated to the worst disaster to ever happen in Richmond, IN... Easy Virtual Cache, and enough shops & restaurants nearby to merit parking & taking a little stroll.
One day, not too horribly long ago, the City of Richmond, IN experienced a tragedy that its residents wouldn't soon forget... As memorialized in the book "Death on a Sunny Street" an explosion caused by an underground gas line shook the entire downtown area one busy Saturday afternoon... many were killed, many were injured, and everyone was affected in some way... the explosion all but leveled a few city blocks, forever changing the once-hectic downtown area.... The Monument you are searching for stands as a Memorial to those who lost their lives on this fateful day.... when the downtown area was rebuilt after the explosion, 5 blocks of Main Street were turned into a red-bricked Promenade, where city festivals were once held & fountains added charm & atmosphere... only a few years ago, this Promenade was done away with & Main Street was re-opened, with mixed feelings from city residents... the living monument to the victims of the explosion was forever gone, and the remaining plaque was moved a block away from the explosion site, to where it stands today... you must locate it & take a photo of the monument with your GPSr clearly in the photo & e-mail it to me at: heather.gard.edwards@gmail.com (you may also post your pic here if you like)
