Arrived late (as usual) - about 4:20pm or so. I was never able to get a GPS fix on my phone due to the the heavy cloud cover, but I found the hash point as indicated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_(role-playing_game) Friend Google]. I almost certainly walked through it one or twice while crossing the street, or at the very least I came within a few yards of it. | Arrived late (as usual) - about 4:20pm or so.

About
In the street next to a Starbucks at Lincoln Road Mall. The scenery was nice; the weather was lousy.
Expedition Reports

I got there slightly before Million_zillion below, but didn't actually manage to run into him. I was at the point a little before 4:00 and stayed there a few minutes and then walked around a bit, but had to get back to my car before the meter expired at 4:30, plus the weather was threatening to start a massive downpour any second.
Million_zillion
Arrived late (as usual) - about 4:20pm or so. I was never able to get a GPS fix on my phone due to the the heavy cloud cover, but I found the hash point as indicated by Friend Google. I almost certainly walked through it one or twice while crossing the street, or at the very least I came within a few yards of it.
I waited around at the Starbucks for a bit, but I didn't see anyone that I could clearly identify as geohashing. There was a drizzle the whole time, but I had an umbrella so I walked around the open-air mall for a while, and went as far east as the beach. There was plenty of nice scenery, but I didn't want to look too much like a complete tool tourist by taking pictures of people shopping.

The street where the hash point is.
This should have been a closer shot of the hash point, but I was off. It's a few yards to the left of this spot.
A bit further back, at the intersection near the parking garage.
Great day for the beach!
