adk39: I hate to do this, but I can’t see myself replacing this any time soon. I might be able to place another cache nearby sometime this summer, but unfortunately not right now.

Geocache Description:


Around 10-12 years ago, this area used to be a shopping center with a grocery store and a bowling alley, with a Kodak store nearby. Right next to this small shopping center is a row of shops that contained a chineese store, town famous pizza (kinda overated if I say so myself), an italian resturant, and a dry cleaner. Also nearby was the town diner.

Nowadays, that row of shops only contains the italian resturant and the pizza store. The dry cleaner closed down fairly recently (about last year), the chineese resturant didn't survive covid, the Kodak store (which I didn't know existed there until I checked google street view to see what it used to be) closed down mysteriously and turned into a gym, the diner closed from covid (I'm guessing) and was going to become a new diner but it has since been delayed, the grocery store turned into a general store and closed down, which lead to it becoming a kickboxing studio. The bowling alley is still open and has been for years, which leads you to this cache:

This cache has just enough room for a log and tiny swag, but not much. It is relatively small and is hidden in plain sight. No magnets. Lots of muggles as it is on a small sidewalk. Parking is about 10 cents and it can be a quick park and grab. Parking meters are enforced 7 days a week. Just keep a dime or a quarter on hand. As the cache is a micro please BYOP. Tweezers aren't needed but you might want to bring some just in case. I did place a tiny pencil in there but it is basically a stub so it would be better to BYOP.

Congrats to Team Double A for being FTF.
