On a spring day in Choresville, five acquaintances, all relatively new in town, had specific objectives in mind concerning particular objects. Temporarily useful knowledge of these errands and chores in various parts of town may be acquired by carefully following the following carefully-formed clues.
PEOPLE: men: Sal Vaged, Tim Id, Ben A. Brink
women: Ona Verge, Atta Edge
OBJECTS: money, lunch, coat, water pipe, ring
BUSINESSES: Big Piggy Bank, May Bee Beauty Salon, Flat Facets Diamonds, Genuine Hardware, Sole Shoe Repair
BUILDINGS: Bent Brick, Vertical Towers, Stacked Stories, Cloud Tickler, Lofty Lights
STREETS: Pothole Parkway, Famed Feet Walkway, Stoned Street, New Avenue, Noble Bull Boulevard
CLUES:
1. As he was walking down Stoned Street, on his way around the corner to Big Piggy Bank to secure his newly-purchased engagement ring into his safety-deposit box, Sal Vaged met Atta Edge just coming out of Genuine Hardware, where she had delivered a box lunch to her husband.
2. Sal asked Atta if she had seen his fiancee, and she said that, yes, Ona Verge had been called to replace a broken water pipe at the May Bee Beauty Salon in the Stacked Stories Building.
3. Ben A. Brink wanted to watch an air show from the Cloud Tickler Building on Pothole Parkway, which would have afforded a good view, but he had to go instead to Flat Facets Diamonds, a block over on Famed Feet Walkway, to pick up his coat that he had left at an office party.
4. In the meantime, Ona finally remembered that the Stacked Stories Building is on Noble Bull Boulevard, and it's the Bent Brick Building that's on Famed Feet Walkway.
5. Tim Id's memory was not so clear; he had to go collect the money for the air show tickets from the owner of the Sole Shoe Repair; and he couldn't remember whether it is the Bent Brick Building or the Vertical Towers Building, but he knew that it is on New Avenue.

Loved it!!
Just a little different than most...I thought it was great! Thanks for the cool teaser.
WHEW! That one was not your ordinary teaser, took me a few to get to the answer and still missed some! Enjoyed!
Only had to use the top row of the grid. But regardless, good puzzle. I loved the different names - made it interesting.
Should have been extremely easy, but I actually mixed the clues for Sal and Atta based on his walking to his destination when he met her; I recorded the street as his destination rather than hers!
Fun teaser!
Fun teaser!
YEAHH! I got some wrong but ehhh
it was still fun!!
it was still fun!!
It was pretty easy until near the end, then I got a little confused. All in all good teaser, loved the names, and had fun solving it.
huh? i thought there was a mistake! but now i can't find what it could have been. Maybe it was just stupid me!
This one, again, kinda different. I LOVE unique. not as difficult, but still i give it 8 of 10
It took me like 3 times to get it right. I kept misinterpreting the clues. but it was fun.
at first look seemed like an easy one but as with the answer i came up with i was way off
Very nice teaser... really enjoyed it!
i enjoyer it didnt get it the first time had to go over it twice but i got it
Great logic puzzle. First time I didn't have to use the grid.
I do like your puzzles! they make you read the clues carefully, and it's best to read them all through once before starting to enter anything in the grid, as there is usually a "correction" later.
More please!
