That might be a bit difficult given the state of things however. You drive your Honda Civic through the heart of downtown glancing at the derelict skyscrapers and storefronts. The buildings are dark and ominous, somebody could be peering at you from within, and you would never know. Many of the shops have painted signs saying: CLOSED PERMANENTLY Eventually you pass by a sign that gives you pause. A piece of plywood has been propped on the side of the road, painted in big red letters that say: TRADING POST You pull over and take a look at the sign. There's a large Tupperware container on the ground in front of it filled with folder up maps of the city. A crude solution, but good enough to repel the rain. Each of the maps is marked in the same place, a red circle in the center of Fairmount Park. Someone clearly left this here hoping to attract people, but it seems a bit suspicious. >Travel to Fairmount Park >Keep exploring the city
