Geocache Description:


This shopping center used to be a bustling hub of economic activity.  It was even the location of the first Fort Wayne German-based discount grocery store, but that was thirty years ago.  Now it's mostly empty...

Also about three decades ago there was also a dollar movie theater.  At the time I was living at home but all my friends lived on campus.  I was on the phone with one of them (and the phone surely had a ten-foot-long coiled cord) and they said that a group of them were going to see Dances With Wolves at the dollar theater.  I said I'd meet them there and drove all the way from south of New Haven to this shopping complex.  I didn't see them outside so I figured they were already inside.  I paid my dollar and entered.  The theater was packed!  I walked all the way to the front and back again, not seeing any of them.  I had already paid my buck so I grabbed a seat and watched the movie alone.  I later found out that even though I drove about thirty minutes to get there (vs. their five), I beat them and the movie was sold out by the time they arrived.
