Very cool project. I came in a few months after that and it is amazing how much wasn't there by June, 2004.
Some random thoughts: Brown still looks like that, Boardman sure doesn't. Federal shows it was state of the art, not only in club design (*listens for Cristiano to snicker*), but in "For Sale" cube technology. So much virgin land in sims that are chock full o' stuff now. I was shocked to see how many sims that I was familiar with from the summer must have been brand new, since they weren't shown. _____________________

brings back memories, even if it happened a bit before my SL birth date, many of those builds were the first things i explored in sl

That is really cool. I own quite a bit of Green now. It's funny to see stuff that's still sitting around from a year ago.

Too funny! The pic of Mavericks has the 'Glass House' on the beach -- which means I must have been working on it when the pic was taken.. I used to build stuff on the beach prior to putting it in the dollar store in Davenport...

Thanks, Essence.
That had to be a lot of work snapping all of those pics. I logged in and took a pic of my home sim (Green) from the same angle as your photo (repeated in this post, I hope you don't mind). Interessting to see what's changed and hasn't. p.s open both images in a new window if you want a side by side comparison Note the bridge, some cabins, and the distant "milk carton" are visible in both photos _____________________

Great idea, thanks for showing us this!
How about setting up a thread asking people to post similar pictures of their sim, and compile another page! _____________________

Awesome work, Essence. Indigo was such an infant back then! I love the plywood there by the sea, lol. Its was really nice to see some of my old favorite haunts, and that Taber is still pretty much exactly the same.

Thanks for those! I kept the ones of Boardman, and the 2 sims that border it, Kissling and Deharo. I'm going to take pics of what they look like now.
