This came to mind while I was contemplating what to call this cache so I went with it (subject to the letter limitation for titles...).  You can have five bonus points if you tell me what's next.

Trader Vic's is long gone from Denver Metro so I had to do some research.  Trader Vic's Outrigger opened in the Cosmopolitan Hotel in 1962 and remained there until it moved to the Denver Hilton in 1978 and went out of business in 1985.  The Cosmopolitan Hotel stood at the SE corner of 18th and Broadway from 1926 until it was torn down in 1984 (there is a Youtube video of the implosion).  I looked at putting this cache at the former location but the stand-off from GC7DCBZ meant that I couldn't put it on-site and the closest logical place (by the Wells Fargo Building) is muggle central, so I decided to put it out with most of the rest of mine and just post the history.  If you're old enough to know what Trader Vic's is, you can go down there (it's now an apartment building), wax nostalgic and sing a round of "In the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room".  If you have a great Trader Vic's story, feel free to post it.  I think I was last in a Trader Vic's in one of the far flung countries I used to travel to when I was in my 20s.

Congratulations to LostinDenver and 2lablovers for FTF!
