  An Excerpt from Welcome To The Strange

Panel 1: Inside the building, there is the last of the construction and repair going on. We are in the upper balcony, which has changed a lot. There's a sturdy latticework in front of the balcony, and we can see that there is some construction of walls going on around the room.

Caption - Late August.

Panel 2: Downstairs, workmen are putting up new windows in the broken areas, and JB is directing a crew of people in something. No dialog. VO of radio.

RADIO
More word out of SoCal today, about a group of people who have taken it upon themselves to renovate, get this, a whole town.

Panel 3: Outside, people are moving things out of another abandoned building, and more people are on the roof, presumably fixing it.

RADIO

The town of Harper, California, abandoned since the nineteen thirties, is being fixed up by a group of people who bought the whole place for a song off of the government.

Panel 4: A delivery truck is parked outside a building. Steph is signing a digital invoice for a load of building materials.

RADIO

Apparently, they were able to secure some sort of grant to fix the place up. Go figure. What do you think about that, Mindy?

MINDY

Well, more power to them if they can pull it off. What do you think they're going to do with it, Bob?

Panel 5: Behind a building, a group of people are setting up a makeshift greenhouse. They're in the process of putting up the plastic.

BOB

Sounds like it's going to be a hippy convention to me. (Group laughter) Next on the WDMS Good Morning show, Newbie's going to get his testicles stapled to a sawhorse. Stay tuned. (Call sign starts) Your New Hits Station --WDMS!
