Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!

You will have to solve a simple puzzle to get the final coordinates. However, it is only a short walk away.

The coordinates will lead you to a parking lot at a small non-profit thrift store and community center. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL; part of the parking lot (east side) is roped off in closed hours, so please respect barriers.

The Puzzle:

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor..."

The TV series “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” aired on NET/PBS for over 40 years, well loved and fondly remembered by many people. While Mr. Rogers didn’t have any connection with the business here, I thought it was a close enough correlation to warrant a simple Mr. Rogers puzzle!

N 41° 57.ABC W 086° 21.DEF

If answer comes out to less than 3 digits, add leading zero(s). Check sum: A + B + C + D + E + F = 16

ABC = Date the final episode was recorded: month (numeral) + day + year - year of Boston Massacre (sorry, not really related)

DEF = Year the show first debuted in Canada: year - 1901
