**well, this may be officially missing. unfortunately i'm no longer in the city, so i can't say for sure. it was good while it lasted.

this is the first box in a series of 4 or 5 (depending on how much time i have) highlighting the ironic hipster element that has taken over this fair city. not that i have anything against it, it's just funny. it's the first box i've planted, and only the 3rd or 4th stamp i've carved, so they aren't incredibly great. there isn't anything offensive about the stamps, but one or two (this one included) involve "adult themes," if you will. and of course, don't attempt these at night, since i can't account for the characters that might be around.

start your search at a park with the same name as a josh hartnett film. go the fountain in the center. from there follow the path past the basketball courts and continue on a street that will bring you great "honor". soon you will come to a place where a "king" used to reside, but now only zipcars live there. turn left on the street named after a wisconsin city. when you come to the six corners, stay to your left and head toward a "car cafe." there on your left you will see a bunch of green apples. look across the street - there used to be a white hen here, but now there are only numbers (7 and 11, to be exact.) follow the french street to the left of this and you will see an alley on your right. at the very front of the alley there is a wooden pole with lots of wires and big metal tubes. at the very bottom of the tubes, shoved up inside, you will find your prize. its wedged in there good, so please be sure to tuck back in tight so it doesn't fall out. bottoms up!
