The City of New Babbage would like to announce that it is proud to launch it's third sim, Port Babbage.

Unlike other parts of the city, this district shall be designed with the retail shop in mind. It shall have no telehub; This provides a unique-in-genre shopping experience and will allow you to directly teleport to the shop you are searching for within the sim. Although taken for granted on the mainland a shop which one can directly teleport to is unique within the Steampunk/Neo-Victorian community.

Port Babbage will also feature a skyscraper district. Those familiar with Pullman's book "The Golden Compass" or "Northern Lights" will recall the splendor of the skyscrapers of Oxford. With this as our inspiration we have constructed a town hall which will have a permanent home here and there are about 5-6 parcels around it which are specifically zoned for similar looking steampunk high rises. Along the sea. These will be great locations for SL businesses seeking an office presence in game within a 19th century as-it-should-have-been setting.

Train Service, expected to launch estate wide by the end of september, will provide service to the port from Babbage Square Station.

This sim shall be double prim and runs for 16 lindens per square meter to purchase and will then have weekly rent paid in lindens to a rental board.

For an appointment please send a NOTECARD to Shaunathan Sprocket.

You may view the parcel map within Babbage Square, in the center of the town follow the canal under the park, then hop down the hole to the engine room.
