It's definitely a strange spot, as it could just be an extension of the Plaza or French street. Also, it's a fairly low traffic area -- and those are the poo-poo smelling bathrooms that I'd usually frequent because they were so empty, so there goes that I guess!
Also, it moves up seeing a scarezone a tiny bit earlier in the night before heading to Curious George, so that's a bit of a plus. Again, would love one on the lower lot, even if it's just a small strip of zone. That'd really help the feeling of seeing zones earlier in the night. That or Potter... we'll see.
