More evidence that it wasn't the Mallers was the location--yep, I also went to Google maps, and saw how close 8th + Grand is to the original Tower. Seems very un-Maller like, especially since they were all going south. Besides, when these trees were planted, the Mallers would have been having a field day pillaging the city. Not like them to think ahead to this degree.

So how did Hoodie sneak up unnoticed?

SUBWAY THEORY
The hidden group has gone underground--literally--and is making use of underground subway tunnels to travel unnoticed.
A underground group was one the first things I thought of as the scene was being described. (actually, first thing I thought was a poor man's hotel 23) and while not something I would describe as a subway per se...i could def see a series of sewer lines linking back to a main stronghold somewhere underground. If it's something as elaborate as what the colony had..it could feesibly take hours to travel a half dozen blocks to the garden
