,,,,,,,,,,  the overgrown maze of the north-eastern ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,   residential district, eventually you   ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,     arrive at what looks like a large    ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,    fenced-in grove of bird cherry and    ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,        juniper. it's quite large,        ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,     and will take a while to circle,     ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,  especially since it's got gardens and   ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,  walls sticking out of it in more than a ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,,      few places. but keep going, and     ,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,^   eventually there'll be lilacs, and a   ^,,,,,,,,,
