A rusted and twisted chain-link fence, host to a real estate sign advertising a sale long completed, bends to the weeds, offering entrance to 308 Riverleigh Ave. in Riverside. Not that many would accept the offer to step into the garbage-strewn clearing, or walk across a dirt-packed path and back into the tall weeds and woods at the rear of a parcel.
Don’t go in there alone, neighbors warn. Don’t go in there without tick spray, either.
