Read on...

The year was 1963 and “In This The Nation’s Most Historic Community” a group of business and community leaders gathered one day to dedicate the King of Prussia Mall to “The American Way of Life”. Since this day, millions of visitors have come and gone as the mall has undergone teardowns, facelifts and new buildings. Today, the mall is in the midst of another expansion that will further solidify itself as the largest in the United States with over 3.7 million square feet of retail space. As approximately 25 million annual visitors come and go, it seems that history has forgotten those folks from 1963. You see, the problem here is that no one remembers the day in which it was dedicated. Since I know you are committed to, “The American Way of Life”, I know you will be able to help keep the memory alive.

Your task - Find the month and the day for which the mall was dedicated. (The internet won't help you.)

Once found - Perform the following calculation: Month + Day = Cache location.
