Man, the jacaranda trees in Praetoria are crazy awesome. Until the petals drop. We were sliding all over the place.
Maybe that's why Cole is the way he is, with his pristine white suits and pristine white streets.

I don't get it, is Jacaranda Vista a part of the games back story or something?

The trees were all fine and dandy until they started attacking people.

It's a quiet and contemplative scene if you're into scenery, and it's interesting to me because there is NOT any explanation for it. It's simply "is".
The center of the zone is anchored thematically speaking by a statue of a Batman-like hero but otherwise unidentified.
I'm pretty sure the map is available in the Architect these days.

Ah, thanks, any screen shots on the off chance that I can't find it?

The story arc is titled _The Freakshow War_ (going by Red Tomax, it's been too long ago since I last ran it for me to remember it), in the level 30ish range.
I'd like to visit the Ouroboros mission that lets us see this (and maybe explains just what happened to Jacaranda Vista):
