^AThe parking lot behind ^EmOasis Tan, ^Cdown the street from the ^GMexican ^Arestaurant behind the ^EmAutoZone, ^Cand the place that's hawking ^Gpayday loans, ^Athere's a K-Mart and a ^EmKFC, ^CFitness Center and an ^GApplebee's. ^AWells Fargo and a ^EmTaco John's, ^CGood Time Bar to get your ^Gbad s^D/F#werve o^Emn.
