The grass is dying here where the ground has been trodden heavily.  Paths
intersect here, so traffic is especially high.  Paths intersect from the
north, south, and east.  Doors to shops reside to each side of the paths,
bright banners hanging from them.  Though merchants may make a lot of money
along this stretch of land, the shops look old and shoddy.  A wooden sign
has been stuck in the ground here.  
A well-dressed woman walks the path, looking at merchandise.
