##¶§@*^--¨  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.            ¨¨¨--^*@§¶

#¶§@*^--¨¨ 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:       ¨¨¨¨--^*@§
