It was a good article but was very, very lacking...
See it didn't give the "How it became the epicenter". It just gave examples, testimonials and scenes from the convention center.
It became because of the ability of so many UT inhabitants to "testify" to the truthfulness of something undocumented, untested, untried.....
It didn't touch on why the Moridor has so many chiropractors and quack medicine pushers; and why the people have to resort to folk medicine/magic to try to feed their family.
