The Brickyard
This is the first and only stop of the Crazy Train before reaching
the end of the line. In reality, there was no stop here, but this
is a good place to hide another cache as I show you the route.
Speaking of routes, if you put in a route to the next stage in the
series, you can try to negotiate your "goto" line and see if you
can distinguish what was built over the old tracks. If you look
closely, you can tell what is new and what is old. Look closely
now, since you are watching history being erased right in front of
your very own eyes!
As for the Brickyard, before it was a shopping center, it actually
was a brickyard. I remember it as a huge pit next to a big hill.
Almost a mountain actually. I guess it was a big clay pit. One can
only imagine seeing this sight out of the windows on the Crazy
Train, sort of like the Bridge of Sighs, one could imagine. It's
hard to tell though, if this is what it looked like back then,
perhaps that will be a research topic for another day.
In March 1976 the opening of the Brickyard Shopping Mall on the
former site of the Carey Brickyard property at Narragansett and
Diversey added new vitality to the community, drawing city shoppers
away from suburban malls.
You are looking for a regular sized cache, a large plastic food
container with a screw on lid. Good luck and continue the story on
the next cache in the series.
