#¤¤$$$=~~¨ if you follow a dirt road north just ¨~~=$$$¤¤#
#¤$~~~~¨¨¨ within the second ring, and navigate ¨¨¨~~~~$¤#
###¤@$=~~¨ the overgrown maze of the north-eastern ¨~~=$@¤###
#¤$~~¨¨¨¨¨ residential district, eventually you ¨¨¨¨¨~~$¤#
¤¤$$$~~¨¨¨ arrive at what looks like a large ¨¨¨~~$$$¤¤
##¤@=~~¨¨¨ fenced-in grove of bird cherry and ¨¨¨~~=@¤##
####¤$=~~¨ juniper. it's quite large, ¨~~=$¤####
#@@=~~~¨¨¨ and will take a while to circle, ¨¨¨~~~=@@#
#@$==~~¨¨¨ especially since it's got gardens and ¨¨¨~~==$@#
###¤@$=~~¨ walls sticking out of it in more than a ¨~~=$@¤###
##@$$=~~~¨ few places. but keep going, and ¨~~~=$$@##
#@@$~~¨¨¨¨ eventually there'll be lilacs, and a ¨¨¨¨~~$@@#

###¤@$=~~¨ grove inside. zig zag between puddles ¨~~=$@¤###
#¤$$~¨¨¨¨¨ and sinking shipping containers, ¨¨¨¨¨~$$¤#
¤@=~¨¨¨¨¨¨ because toward the inner treeline the ¨¨¨¨¨¨~=@¤

#¤¤@=~¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨~=@¤¤#
#¤$$$$=~~¨ go inside. this time there's a cracked ¨~~=$$$$¤#
####@$=~~¨ parking lot, with sprinkled dandelions, ¨~~=$@####
#@$=~~¨¨¨¨ lined by wisteria. east of it is an ¨¨¨¨~~=$@#
###¤@$=~~¨ abandoned building, what used to house ¨~~=$@¤###
##@$=~~~¨¨ an old restaurant. the paint is ¨¨~~~=$@##
