,,,~†$$### if you follow a dirt road north just ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## within the second ring, and navigate ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### the overgrown maze of the north-eastern ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### residential district, eventually you ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### arrive at what looks like a large ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## fenced-in grove of bird cherry and ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### juniper. it's quite large, ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### and will take a while to circle, ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### especially since it's got gardens and ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## walls sticking out of it in more than a ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### few places. but keep going, and ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### eventually there'll be lilacs, and a ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### hole in the fence. ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### go inside. well, it's hollow, and hides ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### a pale swamp (herons, mosquitos). it's ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### brighter here, and the sounds of the ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## city seem distant. but there's a second ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### grove inside. zig zag between puddles ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### and sinking shipping containers, ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### because toward the inner treeline the ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## ground becomes solid again. ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### go inside. this time there's a cracked ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### parking lot, with sprinkled dandelions, ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## lined by wisteria. east of it is an ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### abandoned building, what used to house ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### an old restaurant. the paint is ####$$†~,,
,,,~†$$### chipping, some windows are broken, but ###$$†~,,,
,,,,~†$$## the signage is still there: ##$$†~,,,,
,,,~†$$### ###$$†~,,,
,,~†$$#### "indian palace". ####$$†~,,
