£%*:~^¨¨¨¨  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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨^~:*

#@£%*:~^¨¨  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  ¨¨¨¨^~:*%£
