@*\~~~::¨¨ 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 ¨:~\**¤@##

###@¤*\~:¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨:~~~*¤
