Underground (Cont.) 02

Abandoned railroad line now connecting Collagesity proper with Southside. Yes, there’s now a Southside! (as of 8/8/14).

The tunnel starts near the southeast corner of the Bodega Market and extends underneath and between the Toxic Art Gallery and the Power Tower Gowlery.

A right turn from the tunnel at the bathroom sign leads you to this rather distant location, with attendants along the way extending encouragements such as, “hold it in a little more, you’re almost there!”  It didn’t help that the last attendant had the name I. P. Freely displayed as hovertext above his grinning head. What a sick subliminal joke!

The beginning of the underground trek to the town bathroom was quickly dubbed The Eye of the Needle by locals because of its narrow width. Attendant Greenwich is positioned at the far end. I identify her greenness here with surrounding green Noru hill dirt, recently excavated to make this passage. Greenwich always wants to know “What times are it?” She’s not the attendent who states “Hold in in, you’re almost there” to passerbys because you’re still a long ways to the bathroom from here.

Lateral tunnel you have a direct view into from the diner.

South entrance to the main tunnel. Almost 5000 square meters of land remained for sale just below Collagesity. And as of 8/8/14 I own almost 4000 square meters of it (!) Collagesity’s Southside has been brought into being.

Baker gazes at a picture of Collagesity taken not even one month ago. So much has changed in so little time! This is from the top floor of the Noru Museum, where I tentatively housed 4 pictures chronicling my current stay in the sim…

… which included this picture of the specialty 7-circuit labyrinth removed from the Temple of TILE and placed behind where the Toxic Art Gallery existed at the time.

Early on, the mainstay Orange House was established between Tired Falls and Power Tower Gowlery. At least a couple of structures haven’t been moved in the last month or so. Orange House remains a community centerpiece.

Then for the 4th wall I just had a blank picture. Now so much more could be added.

Here was the current state of Collagesity as of about a week ago. So much has changed in even this shorter time period. Marble Tower (right) has been elminated, for one thing. X-Spot Gallery has been added, connecting formerly disparate structures Kidd Tower, Power Tower, and Fal Mouth Moon. Collagesity is growing up.

Then we come to the fabulous underground, which was new as of the pictures of this post. Welcome to Mid-Town Diner, the newest Collagesity eating establishment in the basement of Fal Mouth Moon. I’ll return to more shots of this eatery in the next post.

About the only thing that suffered in the building of Underground Collagesity was the Coolie Building, which had to be emptied and made phantom as I turned all prims within to convex hulls.

And also the bottom floor of the Toxic Art Gallery gained these weird looking brown tracks — that’s the top of the underground’s train tunnel. Couldn’t be helped and keep Toxic Art.

A cave has formed on the side of a hill in eastern Collagesity. We’ll see why soon!
