Geocache Description:

Irish for a wee bit o' fun for you on St Patty's Day and days to come.

On this rare lucid March morning I journeyed by train to the South Side Irish Parade. Out my window a large crowd lined the platform waiting to board. Over their heads a sight bejeweled my thirst for beverage. "Am I up for a sprint?" I jumped off and jogged to visit the spirit section but before I even reached the door a horn turned my head to reveal the crowd was quicker than I estimated as my coach rolled on sans me. A quick check of the schedule revealed I had an hour to kill. Wasting no time, I found myself suddenly attracted to the sit down establishment across the street. Upon entry, I discovered it too classy for my style. I was hoping for something more Gaelic and demure. I asked the inn keeper and was told to go find Peggy. I marked the posted coords for you as a place to start your crawl. Stumble along with me through a wee part of town. Count and note the following as you move along starting east, then south. Starting here at 141 West I noted ___ bunches of grapes on the awining a bit to the right. At the corner before turning south, at 70 North I see ____ lights inside the curvature above the door. At 2 South I counted ____ large black keys on the north side of awning and doubled that number. At 115 West (on the street just crossed) I noted ___ doors with the establishment's name. At 27 West I noted ___ pillars guarding the door. At 17 West I noted ___ matching light fixtures attached to wall along the gangway side of the building. Back at the corner at 1 North I noted ___ ruby colored diamond squares in the glass over the door. Finally across at 8 North I found Peggy and noted ____ leaves in apostrophe in her last name above the east side awning. Slip in for a beverage and total your list. Add the total to the west posted coord to help me find that thing. Thanks to the Complicator for beta testing this one :)
