Map 30

It’s hard to believe you’re in a city when all that surrounds you are single-family homes with portable basketball nets lining the streets, tons of flowering trees that beat fighting the crowds downtown in spring, chirping birds, and the infamous Mushroom House across the city line. Nearby is the Dalecarlia Reservoir and Capital Crescent Trail.
