Geocache Description:

Whoever Said Chicago Is The Windy City Hasn't Been To This Stretch Of 42nd Street In NYC On A Windy Day...

This Cache Is In Honor Of All Of Us Who Have Had Our Umbrella's Blown Over, Hair-Do's Ruined, Packages Blown Out Of Our Hands, And The Like... All Due To The Infamous Hudson River Winds - Right Up 42nd Street... Best Seen In The Evenings, Or On An Overcast Day...

The Howling And Creaking Of These Winds Is Incredible When Active... And Must Be Experienced To Be Appreciated...

To Find This Delicious Little Cache, Bend Down And Feel Around... Be Careful - This Area Is Frequented By Neighborhood Pets...

Good Luck!

Nearby is the River Place I apartment building... it's the nation's biggest with 908,000-sq.-ft. of space and 921 rent stabilized, no-fee apartments...

You've Just Seen The Biggest Apartment Building In The USA!!!

Incidentally Costas Kondylis, the architect of River Place also built the Atelier (across the street) and Silver Towers (under construction next door)...
