,,,~\*%££@ 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 %*\~,,,,,,
,,,,,~\*%£ ground becomes solid again. £%*\~,,,,,
,,,,~\*%££ ££%*\~,,,,
,,,~\*%££@ 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: £%*\~,,,,,
