Cypress Knolls
Imjin Parkway, California Avenue, Patton Parkway and Highway 1 in Marina, ci.marina.ca.us
It’s 190 acres of fenced-in, abandoned, former military duplexes. The website of the city of Marina states it is “currently working on concepts” for its future use. The Veterans Transition Center has designs on part of it. But for now, Cypress Knolls is like a spooky, deserted setting for a zombie apocalypse movie: “Global warming has left American towns in ruins, inhabited by sullen hordes of zombies… ” Graffiti murals of Jason from Friday the 13th, the desolate quiet, the shadows, and the occasional structure fire only enhances the atmosphere of dread and mayhem.
