Heading back towards Johnstown, the Traveler spots a road that climbs steeply up the hill with the sign "Daisytown" Looks like it'll be a dead end, but he decides to check it out anyways. On the way up he enjoys a beautiful view of the city below with misty clouds floating through...
Daisytown feels like a world apart. Rather than musty, run down houses packed tightly together, here homes are spaced like a typical middle class suburb perche high on a plateau, oblivious to the crumbling city far below. Unlike Westmont, it doesn't seem like the place where Johnstown's wealthy came to live... just normal folks who wanted to live away from the troubles of the city... and close at the same time...
And so the Traveler's day of exploring Greater Johnstown comes to an end.
