Geocache Description:

You will find this cache in a beautiful part of Baltimore!!!

A Texan who's visiting Baltimore
Will find there is so much to see.
Though Puccini wanted to go caching
In a 'vehicle-less' position was she.

She brought in her suitcase a travel bug
Complete with three skeleton keys.
The bug had been in Florida and California
And was ready for another to sieze.

She also brought printouts of caches
To visit during her wonderful stay,
But it wasn't possible to find them.
All the caches were too far away.

So, stuck near the Inner Harbor
She looked for a great place to hide
The Bug she was determined to leave here
In a place that was within her stride.

So, here is a beautiful 'virtual'
In a place where the tourists can go.
It's not in the Inner Harbor,
But a beautiful building I know.

If you're first of the visiting cachers
You must look very carefully behind
A red granite pillar on Washington
And the bug you are certain to find.

For those of you visiting later,
This is still a great 'virtual' cache.
Enjoy the entire area
Even if there isn't a stash.

To claim this great place as a 'find,'
An email to me you must send.
Three questions for me you must answer
The answers are right at the 'bend.'

Question 1: What's the name of the building?
Toward a sign on the corner you'll steer!
Question 2: How old is this building?
For this, you must tell me the year!

A third thing you must also tell me:
The travel bug's theme is a 'key.'
Why did I choose THIS location?
The word 'key' in your answer will be.

ENJOY!!!
