When the Cherry has Popped

It sounds quite pleasant but the cherry trees have vanished a long time ago. There’s a small strip of grass dividing the road where they once might have been but the locals have loaded them up into their chevies by now. Instead, there’s a special school and a social club alongside a community centre and a building that hosts a doctor’s surgery. The houses look pleasant enough and there’s an attempt to line the road with trees to offer shade and hide the larger buildings, but it’s the people who live in the flats behind them that you need to worry about as they’re always trying to borrow things. There’s a few functional cars scattered around but nothing too upmarket. No-one would risk it. There’s painted lines and sloped walls which indicate which lots belongs to which building, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the locals use them as skate ramps. Who knows what’s inside?
