Bliss Boulevard and Newhaven Way
   Beautifully inlaid stones of light yellow have been checkered
with the yellowish brown stones lining Newhaven Way.  The checkered
boulevard stretches off to the east and west.  A small fountain has
been placed in the center of the intersection.  Large red and white
flowers have been meticulously planted in a perfect circle about the
fountain.  The sounds of the gurgling fountain and the sweet scent
of the flowers bring a sense of tranquilly to the area.  A small sign
has been carefully posted within the flowerbed before the fountain.

oak trees line the roadway, spreading their branches high over

branches intertwine forming a strange and twisted canopy of the living

the earth tightly.  The path has been cleared of any debris while multitudes
of large flowers have been planted along each side of the path. The flowers
mirror the canopy overhead, on the right side, each flower oozes a red puss
that drips down each withered petal feeding the weed packed flowerbed below.

A Well Traveled Path
   Six sets of flagpoles have been meticulously spaced and embedded
along each side of the cobblestone path leading up to a massive gate.
Each pole supports either a large banner emblazoned with Newhaven's
crest or a white scale and balance.  The roadway has been formed from
tiny dark brown stones and has been mortared tightly together.  The
area is very picturesque.  The lush green landscape of the area
is offset by the vibrant colors of the many wild flowers that have
sprouted about the flagpoles.  The roadway is completely free of any
debris.

A Well Traveled Path
   A narrow path of dirt and rock begins to transform into a cobblestone
pathway here. Massive oak trees, withered and cracked, line the right
side of the roadway, while massive green and flourishing oak trees line
the left side of the roadway, spreading their branches high over head. The
branches intertwine forming a strange and twisted canopy of the living
and the dead overhead.  Tiny stones of dark brown have been embedded into
the earth tightly.  The path has been cleared of any debris while multitudes
of large flowers have been planted along each side of the path. The flowers
mirror the canopy overhead, on the right side, each flower oozes a red puss
that drips down each withered petal feeding the weed packed flowerbed below.
while on the left side, each flower is in pristine condition as no sign of
weeds have managed to grow within the bed of flowers.
Obvious exits: -South
An elegant gate hangs here blocking the right side entrance.
A rusting gate hangs here blocking the left side of the entrance.
