New venue.. and .. stuff...

Hello people.
Time.. as usual.. has passed. I am massively busy with things RL.. and that just doesn't leave enough time and energy for the SL business to keep up. But I am trying.
A few things have happened since the last post....

For one I have somewhat tried to tier down, which made me sell some land (the Islands in Stoogle and the huts in Saimaa - as well as the house-boat in Sanchon had to go).. none of it was really ever rented out so it is not a big loss. I still have two huts in Schism that can be rented for very low rates. Also I sold a large chunk of land in Rimutaka Park, and am waiting to sell another piece to someone willing to pay for it. Nice piece.. just by the road.
The Stingray Main-Store and Gallery are still there... only a bit shrunk in size.
Due to these sales I had to relocate the Kirani Acessory Shop, which is now in Schism.

Also Mr. Swindlehurst had to give up his office, which was too posh for him anyway. He will now receive clients in his home. IM Nunca Swindlehurst if you need him for a job.

The store in Bay City is still around, as is Arthur's Bar. But recent changes have caused me to actually expand my land ownership again. As you might have heard the Teen Grid has been merged with the main grid recently, causing the adding of land to existing structures. One of them is Bay City, where practically a whole mirrored Instance of the urban area was simply added to the west (well.. transferred from the Teen Grid, that is.) The merge is now practically complete, only a few changes have to be made. The nice thing about this addition is that it is possible for everyone to buy land there, even if not a "Teen" by definition, as long as PG standards are kept. The prices of land were less than half that of the mature BC regions though. That was a chance I could not let go .. I managed to obtain a parcel of land at a "relatively reasonable" price in Bay City Truro and built a small stingray sattelite store there. The nice aspect: This is an upcoming area, a lot of the land around is up for auction right now, and there will be a PG Info-Hub not too far away. This way I can not only cater to Teen residents as well, who would not be able to visit my store in Falconmoon, but also finally consider myself a stable resident of Bay City, since until now I had been only renting (though GNext does not make it feel like renting.. thanks Harris!) I urge you to have a look at the available land.. prices are rising by the hour... but it is a one time chance to obtain a space in one of the best-working SL communities I have been around so far!

The Linden-home program has also provided me with a nice suburban place, which I mostly see as a showcase to present my furniture in a "lived-in" setting. Though... I should throw an occasional party there.. I think....
