No response from cache owner.

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed, and it is time to have it listed once again it will be no problem as long as it still meets the guidelines. Just drop me a note( by email at Mongo@geocachingadmin.com) and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Mongo

Geocache Description:

On the 14th day of August a fellow cacher gave to me ...

a forgoten historical landmark, a magnet nano, an average tree cache, a cute neighborhood park, a grotto, a birdhouse cache, a second park and grab, a veteran's war memorial, a cute spot to sit, a hide along a creek bank, a cache in a pine tree, a quick park and grab, a mall ona  bike path, and a cool place to get some swag and containers.


The cache location is near a memorial to this once thriving entertainment district of St. Louis.  Gaslight Square flourished from the early 1950's into the mid 1960's.  According to Wikipedia, the area was very similar to what the Loop is today.  It sounded like a great place to hang out with the gas lit signs and venues for comedy, poetry, and jazz performances.  Unfortunately, suburbanization, urban decay, and white flight led to the downfall of this St. Louis landmark.
