After
almost
an
hour
of
driving
through
towns
with
names
like
Black
Earth
,
they
turned
down
a
narrow
driveway
,
past
several
enormous
,
snow
-
dusted
flowerpots
entwined
with
lizard
-
like
dragons
.
The
tree
-
lined
parking
lot
was
almost
empty
.
"
They
’
ll
be
closing
soon
,
"
said
Wednesday
.
"
So
what
is
this
place
?
"
asked
Shadow
,
as
they
walked
through
the
parking
lot
toward
a
low
,
unimpressive
wooden
building
.
"
This
is
a
roadside
attraction
,
"
said
Wednesday
.
"
One
of
the
finest
.
Which
means
it
is
a
place
of
power
.
"
"
Come
again
?
"
"
It
’
s
perfectly
simple
,
"
said
Wednesday
.
"
In
other
countries
,
over
the
years
,
people
recognized
the
places
of
power
.
Sometimes
it
would
be
a
natural
formation
,
sometimes
it
would
just
be
a
place
that
was
,
somehow
,
special
.
They
knew
that
something
important
was
happening
there
,
that
there
was
some
focusing
point
,
some
channel
,
some
window
to
the
Immanent
.
And
so
they
would
build
temples
,
or
cathedrals
,
or
erect
stone
circles
,
or
…
well
,
you
get
the
idea
.
"
"
There
are
churches
all
across
the
States
,
though
,
"
said
Shadow
.
"
In
every
town
.
Sometimes
on
every
block
.
And
about
as
significant
,
in
this
context
,
as
dentists
’
offices
.
No
,
in
the
USA
,
people
still
get
the
call
,
or
some
of
them
,
and
they
feel
themselves
being
called
to
from
the
transcendent
void
,
and
they
respond
to
it
by
building
a
model
out
of
beer
bottles
of
somewhere
they
’
ve
never
visited
,
or
by
erecting
a
gigantic
bat
-
house
in
some
part
of
the
country
that
bats
have
traditionally
declined
to
visit
.
Roadside
attractions
:
people
feel
themselves
being
pulled
to
places
where
,
in
other
parts
of
the
world
,
they
would
recognize
that
part
of
themselves
that
is
truly
transcendent
,
and
buy
a
hot
dog
and
walk
around
,
feeling
satisfied
on
a
level
they
cannot
truly
describe
,
and
profoundly
dissatisfied
on
a
level
beneath
that
.
"
"
You
have
some
pretty
whacked
-
out
theories
,
"
said
Shadow
.
