The truth is, however, whatever it was called before, it is now known as Harman Lane and there is no changing that. While you're in the area, why not head south east to Giddings Mall? I heard that the Feral Undead are going to lead a big ol' strike on it in the next few days. -(12/07/08)

Despite its name, rarely any harmans reside here for a long period of time, given the proximity to any feral that happens to be roaming around at the time. It is hotly populated by the undead at various times due to some lesser able zombies thinking that Humans will flock here as a safety measure. Go there now, there will probably be some zombies. Then again, maybe not.

Humans and zombies alike will see the following (permanent) description when standing in Harman Lane:

"You are at Harman Lane.

Directly in front of you, a billboard advertises life insurance."

Such a description is always followed by a description of what has been spraypainted on the billboard there, but since that description is never permanent and always subject to change, it is redundant to include it here as well.
