This appears to be open now. Has anyone else had a look round it? I've taken a quick peek, and apart from missing lots of spinning "for sale" signs, it looks good.

I haven't been there, nor I've heard of it. What kind of place is it?

Really, someone did a sim of Bay City, Michigan???
But WHY? Having a pop rock group named after it (the Bay City Rollers) should have been enough.  |

A true rarity: a working mainland rail line! ...now send moles to the other side of the bridge and have them fix the Luna to Dore line! Mari _____________________

I'll just quote my blog post on it.....
"Odd thing for me is its just a yawner….. I doubt if I ever will visit Bay City, unless someone I shop at has a shop there, then it will be a quick in/out. Ive given up on stability, only log in a hour or so every other day. Got rid of all my land, ignore LL for the most part. I dont really care anymore what LL does, thats all in the past for me." _____________________

Be sure to enter the current photo contest at the Photography Studio of Grignano - the theme is Bay City. There are lots of things to photograph as well as to excite your imagination.
Details at the Photo Studio or IM me for a poster. Basically, 3 entries no bigger than 512x512, name them and put your name in the title - drop them on me. Can't think offhand of the cut-off date - weeks away, though. AND JOIN THE PARADE. _____________________

It's very neat! Some cool urban/industrial builds, all with 1930s-60s era stuff. I'm going to explore more tomorrow!

/me just flew around it for a while. Still doesn't have much for shops and such but they haven't started auctioning off parcels yet.
Couple buggy spots but it's starting off as quite a nice build. |

found out about it this morning (my time) while reading the blog. Those bridges look like fun for some GTA style mahem in a steam powered car. i'll be creating some noise and steam there sometime later today (early morning SL time), have they made some of the enterance area's build enabled? (as according to the blog).
i'll be teiring down soon to just a premium membership (moved to group owned land), i might try and nab a 512 plot there for laputa if it's any good. looks like it will be a busy spot. -Crunch _____________________

There's a rez area at the end of the bridge that leads past the asylum.
It's marked with a clear sign. _____________________

The asylum is creepy. It's called the Channel Islands Asylum. There's a famous mental health place that I drive by every day. It was known as the Hotel California, and it's now been turned into Cal State University Channel Islands. There's also a wierd mad scientist lab in one of the other sims.

I was rather disappointed to find I could not climb up inside right to the top of that lighthouse. It has a spiral ramp, but my avatar was too tall to get through at the top! I always had my doubts about making the buiders moles. _____________________
