After following a few dead ends, and raising a few homeowners' wrath by cutting through their yards, they arrived at a seven-foot high chain link fence surrounding what appeared to be college dorms nestled in the rolling, wooded campus.

The best couple of jobs in town are owned by the men who direct the second car on the two trolley hook-ups. These guys are dying to talk with you if you are willing to first brave the white stripes on the floor of the car which are supposed to stop you from bothering...
