Geocache Description:

Welcome to White Plains!

This cache is placed near one of the many access points to the City of White Plains.  In this case, you will find yourself entering town on North Street, where Westchester Avenue straddles much of the eastern border between White Plains and Harrison.


General Foods Headquarters

The City of White Plains has long been an attractive location for a wide variety of businesses. You can find a large number of current and former corporate headquarters in the area. Be sure to check out the Corporate Ca$hes, to tour some of the corporate parks along Westchester Avenue. The building pictured above was built in 1954 as the corporate headquarters for one of these large companies. It was converted to general business real estate space during the late 1990s as White Plains experienced a glut of available commercial space due to corporate downsizings and mergers, when city-wide vacancy rates soared over 30%.

The cache itself is placed just outside of this corporate park on North Street, with easy side-street parking, since the building parking lot is considered private and patrolled by security year round. BYOP. A log extraction tool is included, but be prepared in case the tool goes missing.

Congrats again to FindingNaMo, who now has FTF on four of our caches!

Bonus Question: Please do NOT post any spoilers or pictures answering this bonus question!  What is the colorful street number address for this office complex (as seen at both the North Street and Westchester Avenue entrances to the lot)?  Noting the answer to this question may come in handy for future adventures...
