Collagesity, Rubi Forest style, is getting in shape. I’ve now successfully re-established both the Falmouth and Power Tower galleries containing the vast bulk of my newer collages. Cool… but I don’t relish the thought of moving the things again (!) Falmouth and Power Tower divide urban from suburban in the town, with the latter less finished than the former. I need to start thinking about a new town philosophy. If you count a caddycorner relationship, this is the *sixth* time I’ve owned land bordering the Rubi Forest down through the years now, and in all four cardinal directions as well. I’ll have to make a map sometime of the ownership history. I’ve never owned in Minoa, the sim I inhabit now, which makes it a new chapter of sorts. My new land also borders the opposite corner of the forest from the property I held in Hector earlier this year. They probably act as some kind of balance for each other.
I’ll make a town map soon. The downtown area in the southern part appears to be a step up in energy for Collagesity from Noru even, better integrating Sam Parr State College with several former exterior elements, like the Kidd Tower, Bodega Market, SoSo gallery, and X Spot Gallery. As stated before, President Karoz is now super excited after a bout of trepidation over the move.
Hmm. There actually is a village called Minoa in New York, the only one with that root name.

I’ll have to think about possible links with the newest version of Collagesity in the Minoa sim.
This may be *it* — my final Second Life move. I’m very, very pleased with the outcome of the admittedly quite sudden uprooting. It helped a heck of a lot that I abandoned my Noru land and thus was able to gradually move a lot of the components over to Minoa before their derezzing (which still hasn’t happened in bulk). Although the Power Tower and Falmouth galleries were set up there as well, Hector never developed into a true town, like Collagesity in Noru did. Minoa successfully continues this incorporation. Another plus is the close proximity of the already established TILE Tower still in Rubi, along with a small bar there. Funtastic.
Here’s an exciting prospect as well. Even when I fit out the remaining buildings I might have upwards of 650 prims to still play around with in a skybox situation. I didn’t resurrect the Noru Museum, and I think that saved about 150 prims right there. On the other hand, the two Victorian houses I currently have in Collagesity didn’t appear in Noru. A happy conundrum, though (!)
