I’m visiting Mainland again. I haven’t done that in ages; actually since the days when a friend, who owned land in there, got tired of waiting for the Lindens to help him solve a minor dispute with a rental neighbor. After weeks, and weeks of waiting, he put the land for sale, and told me to remind him never to look back. I haven’t had the need to, since maybe the disappointment is still holding him to even log back in. Yet, I still have hope that the mess the Lindens call Mainland could be a better place.
On my recent visit to some old sim I found this: Georgios Deli, a small Greek-like costal town in a sim named Hikuelo. Of course, the place is small; it sits on a 3200 sq.m. parcel, but it’s quite good looking. The builder paid good attention to details: the building, the textures, the vehicles, the furniture and decorations inside each room, outdoor elements, etc. Everything looks so fresh that you would think it was built recently, but a quick inspection of some of the objects reveals the place might date back to early 2008. That’s like decades in SL time. There’s something else: it was abandoned on 16-Nov-2010.
So Georgios Deli is currently under Governor Linden’s Maintenance’s group. That’s to say: set to disappear one of these days, when the supreme overlord sends one of his janitors to scout the land and “reset” everything. Until then, you can follow this [slurl] and enjoy this Mediterranean ghost town while it lasts.
