Geocache Description:

When reading below, replace "Big Boxs'" with the name of the department store which used to occupy the nearby building.

When I was in my teens we lived about four hours away from my grand parents. During my summer vacations I'd sometimes get to visit them and stay for a while. Just about every weekday they would make a trip to Big Boxs'... yes with an "s". In those days Big Boxs' had a cafeteria and my grand father would order toast and my grand mother would get hot water, and from her purse she'd pull out a tea bag from home. They'd always buy something in the store and then head back home. Once a week they'd pick up my great grand mother and she would join in on the excursion. And for something completely different, on occasion they'd go to another department store. It's kinda sad to see Big Boxs' disappearing.
