Downtown Bodega Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

blackhorse221: Sadly, this cache and the Bodega itself have run its course. The owner of the Bodega closed the store so they can spend more time with their family. The building is being sold and the stage has been altered making this cache unfindable. Thanks everyone for finding it over its short life.

Geocache Description:


bo·de·ga (bōˈdāgə/) n. a small neighborhood grocery store, particularly in Hispanic communities.

A bodega, despite the Urban Dictionary references gleaned from movies like Half Baked, is actually just a small, neighborhood grocery store, particularly in a Hispanic or Spanish-speaking community. 

The Roosevelt Row district, centered here at 4th Street and Roosevelt, has been enjoying a bit of an artistic resurgance with First Friday art walks, local musicians and galleries on display. On any given evening, one can walk through the area and enjoy the sights and sounds of music wafting out of small coffee shops, artists displaying their art and free, small, open-air concerts put on in the lot next door.

This cache is placed with the permission of the shop owner, Adrian. It is located on the west side of the store, a converted house that is approximately 100 years old. The staff knows it's here, but please be mindful of muggles.

Getting to this cache may require some special tools (check attributes) and is not recommended for folks wearing their business clothes. In other words, you'll have to get your hands and knees dirty to get this one!

Please help keep this geocache stocked full of swag for the kids!
