VWX Town: Growing Back After Being Pruned.

Baker Bloch sits on the upper porch of the newly reinstated House of Truth (sans interior decoration yet), staring across Grassy Knoll toward the Temple of TILE. Great view, and great alignment! He has to do some pondering about keeping VWX Town around in October, past the 7th when my tier payment is due again.

Top of Grassy Knoll, with DK Art’s red “Aim High” sculpture freebie and some orange butterflies. Hard to see the butterflies from this angle because the Temple of TILE’s walls are orange-ish as well. Is this super grassy knoll connected with the super famous toy avatar Grassy Noll?

Baker looks north along the central stream of the property now. Central Stream is as good a name as any, then. As you can see, there’s a lot going on along its banks now.

Below we have a lady statue holding a bowl erupting with water. She existed in almost the same spot in “old” VWX Town, before the great renovation. But she didn’t have the water pouring all over her then. The water seems to originate from her head, and then empties into Central Stream below. Is she the source of *all* water in the stream? No, since some of it comes from the pipe on the Toxic Art Gallery, which we’ll get to in a moment. Central Stream seems to flow south from the this art gallery and north from the partnering Power Tower Gowlery — this is its range. The statue of the water goddess merely “adds” to the flow coming north from the Power Tower Gowlery, as does the more blue-purple waterfall seen directly behind her in the below photo.

In fact, as Baker Bloch is studying the matter now, all 3 flows (waterfall, water goddess, Central Stream from PTG) conjunct at the same spot. Queer — didn’t really plan it that way. The water from each flow is colored somewhat different.

Perched on a smaller knoll above the conjunction is another new addition to VWX Town: a miniature village called “Lucky’s Magic Little World” in the description, created by Lucky40Resident. The little car in the picture actually circles around the hamlet at a rate of about once every 25 seconds. Inside its track are positioned 7 cottages, each a different color of the rainbow. Not coincidentally, a rainbow arches across the town’s center, complete with smiling sun, even. Lucky’s village is a true microcosm.

Baker now sits near the center of the town. Goldie has been reborn here, just across the waterfall from Lucky’s Village. But he has severly shrunk in the transition, now appearing not much larger than Baker. Or about the same size as the water goddess statue just to his side. As the case with that statue, Goldie appears not far from where he was last seen in old VWX Town, atop the Hole in the Wall bar…

… which has also returned to the reinvented town, seen behind Baker through the palms as we simply reverse camera angle away from Goldie.

Another new object: a dock walk crossing Central Stream just in front of the Hole in the Wall.

House of Truth, with a pond in front of it now. This pond compliments nearby Grassy Knoll, since they lie on either side of the terraforming range (+4/-4) of my land. I built up for Grassy Knoll, and burrowed down for the pond. Greenup/Yellow Down archetype in action again? There’s even a bunch of yellow fishies swimming around the pond to reinforce this theory.

Another new object: a giant head, not pink as this angle might imply on a glance, but simply seen through a pink curtain, with nose projecting through a bit. Connected to Noser Mill in Franklin County, Missouri then? Probably not, but no harm asking in this here blog. *But*, if so, then can Central Stream be connected to muddy Bourbeuse River similarly slicing across the length of Franklin County? A contrast might have been made between that very crooked real life river and straight-as-lace Central Stream. Noser Mill is mentioned in the wikipedia article on the subject as a particularly curvy stretch of the river, even.

Behind the unnamed head (Noser?) are Biker Jones and Ranger Johns discussing the location of VWX Town’s galleries, once more.

A giant spoon leans against Hole in the Wall now.

“Noser” in profile view, with the masking magenta curtain seen edge on.

Inside Hole in the Wall. Great view!
