#&&%^^/~-¨   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   ¨¨¨¨-//^&&
###&%^/~-¨            hole in the fence.            ¨-~/^%&###

###&%^/~-¨ go inside. well, it's hollow, and  hides ¨-~/^%&###
###&%^/~-¨ a pale swamp  (herons,  mosquitos). it's ¨-~/^%&###
###&%^/~-¨ brighter here,  and  the  sounds of  the ¨-~/^%&###
##%/-¨¨¨¨¨ city seem distant.  but there's a second ¨¨¨¨¨-/%##
##&&%^/~-¨ 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     ¨-~/^%&###
###&%^/~-¨  chipping, some windows are broken, but  ¨-~/^%&###
###&%^/~-¨       the signage is still there:        ¨-~/^%&###
