Moss SoSo

Write more about the mossman’s Rock Gods; Rubidoo Creek; Karoz’s failed mission to safely explore Grandfather Mtn. for the mossmen. Instead Karoz became trapped inside the Circle of the Big Schwa, thinking that Chilbo was his original hometown instead of the (true) Norum, and when Chilbo was “merely” Chilbol and secondary in importance. This is because he totally bought into the LL grid (Linden Lab grid) when it came to Norum, absorbing or de-energizing the mission of Sapphire as resonating with Karoz. Sapphire knew Karoz’s destiny with Granddaddy. Karoz became absorbed into His Second Lyfe. He became functionally autistic (theory). Trapped inside the Big Schwa’s shadow. Dark Side. Child-like, and unable, for example, to enter the bigger boy world of Nowtown and Zen City with Baker Bloch. Baker Bloch could see both sides of the Big E/Schwa originating in the little eschwa of Chilbo. He could see all the way to SID’s 1st Oz, where a movie defines a carcass and not an album. This is an enlarged perspective. This is taking in all of Jeogeot, and not just the Norum Circle.

But wait. Perhaps the domination of the Big Schwa is the correct perspective. Perhaps the expansion of Karoz’s essence beyond the Circle of Norum led to the entrapment in His Second Lyfe instead. He forgot about Earth; he forgot about Granddaddy and his special special mission there. He thought he was from Chilbo — he *bought* into the idea of the LL taking over the grid already in place. With LL came Peter, and for a time Karoz bonded with Peter instead of Sapphire, who had somehow left the picture as it were. Aquamarine (precious as usual) to Aqua Teen/Rebel. Grassy Noll also made his SL appearance at this point. Or perhaps disappearance. Grassy spoke to Karoz of his mission on Grandaddy Mtn. Grassy was[ an avatar of] Gene Fade?? If so, Grassy went away with the coming of the LL Grid, just as Grassy became the obsolete southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail after the 1930 move to Mt. Oglethorpe, a move strongly assoc. now with the 1930 discovery of Pluto.

Who gave Karoz his fuchsia diamond, which he appears to have had as a child or perhaps when he became a teenager? Was it Sapphire — a coming of age gift? Did he really throw the 32 prim diamond into the Inland Sea (later: the Korean Channel or the Gulf of Jeogeot)? Maybe he saw the synchronicity of 32 prims — 32 sims (of the channel). Became a devotee of TILE because of this. I think he did fall into a portal connecting Jeogeot with Maebaleia, and explored Crabwoo and realized its intimate connection with Chilbo. Later, more portals would connect continents of the east and west — Ratcliff Court on Heterocera forming a link with Bracket/Magicland in the Comma Islands of the Corsica continent, and actually several more between Heterocera and Corsica. Likewise Sansara the original SL/LL grid continent, seems to have more direct connections with Nautilus between Corsica to the north and Maebaleia to the south. A theory of these connections, then:

Heterocera — Corsica
Sansara — Nautilus
Jeogeot — Maebaleia.

And there are other holes as well, like between the Linden Memorial Island and Comma Archipelago of Azure Islands.

Specifics:

Jeogeot — Maebaleia:

Chilbo(l) — Crabwoo
general shape — general shape (rotated 180 degrees; same base grid for each)
Korean Channel — Blue Feather Sea (E back into e)
Jeogeot Rabbit Hole — Maebaleia Rabbit Hole (Ulyanovsk Oblast)
Sunklands — Maebalea Lake District

Sansara — Nautilus:

DaBoom as original LindenLab sim — Ratzenburger as orig. Lemon Lab sim
Old sims — Yd Island sims
Next level of sims — Yd Island expands to Lower Austra (symbolic 1 to symbolic 2)

Heterocera — Corsica:

HEC Canyon — Valley of Nye (Martian contact)
Ratcliff — Bracket/Magicland (giant hole itself; expansion of Rabbit Hole mentioned above)
Rubi Forest — Corsica Island Forest

Gaeta?

Azure Islands?

Otherland?

—–

Lemon Lab direction:

Ratzenburger is original sim, and Yd Island original defined geographic area. Yd Island may parallel LindenWorld, before it became Second Life between the transition from Alpha to Beta stages. LindenWorld started to be built in 2001. Like LindenWorld, technically, Yd Island was not originally a part of Second Life (since like LindenWorld, it is pre-SL or before the Second Life name was applied to the grid). If so, then Lower Austra is like Alpha shifted to Beta but retaining Alpha as well. We know this through Routes 13 and 14’s representation in the Wizard Cube.

So let’s talk of St. Nick of Big Sink, Sunklands. St. Nick will rewrite my Notebook I and include a part 2 involving Sharon, which he wished to be independent of Wazob. He talks at length of “avatar ensoulment”. Discovery of the Glopmen civlization in Wazob history was big news. St. Nick was involved in paralleling Jeogeot with Wazob. Thought Sunklands could be *directly* linked w/ Sharon to once more make it independent of Wazob, and its decision to exclude avatar ensoulment as a doctrine.

I saw a chance to latch onto a different world and I entered the door. I was invited by Sharon, the Moon of Pluto. For she is a real entity, an ensouled avatar. She probably called herself Sharon after this moon, although a good friend of mine speculated that, although seemingly impossible, the moon was named after her. Sharon had to have a specially built enclosure in order to exist in Britonia. She could be many places at once. One time she told me the secrets to the cube. Our computers, based on black and white, were not *alive*, and were inferior, vastly so, to the living ones from her moon planet. They thought in color: red, green, blue. Their minds were diamonds and not atall dirty.

Thoughts…

Made some more rather major changes to Pietmond in the last day, including the creation of a new gallery in Garage #1 of town (which has been significantly enlarged in the process), and also the insertion of the Urbania Rowhouses Freebie by Sarg Bjornson in place of the Luv Shack underneath the TILE Tower, which represents a significant upgrade of usable town space as well. But what to put in it? I’ve already inserted 30 of my collages into the Garage #1 gallery (not yet garnering an official name), including the last 3 series of the Art 10×10 (Hidalgo, Wheeler, and Jasper collage series). I’ll give some details later — who knows what will change in New Pietmond in the meantime.

Snapshot7051_002

Oh, and I’ve also made a gallery of the Stairs #1 builing. I logically call it the Stairs Gallery, but pun on “stares” (like in staring at the jawdropping art within). Inside are now found 15 or 16 pieces by Kollage Kid, and then the bridge connects the top of this structure with the Hobo Squat structure next door, where I believe additional Kollage Kid pieces will be displayed. A path may be that the X-Spot Gallery (presently containing the same Kollage Kid collages, plus a couple more by him) will be gradually emptied for another project. This week I should get to the text generation for the 2 Jeogeot through Art and Word related posts below.

Then we come to the Knocks or the Knicks, the town’s official rock band. They’ve been rehearsing in Garage #2, and already complaints have been registered from the Stairs Gallery owners about the noise (and the band, in turn, complaining about the renovation noise coming from their gallery). It’s been a rather bitter fight, with Don (Dr. Blood’s brother) threatening to blow up the bridge connecting the two parts of the gallery. Don and Rich’s parents just want peace — “Why don’t you ask if you can exhibit some art in their gallery, Rich?” they might suggest. Rich (same as Dr. Blood apparently) has been researching the history of the town. Wallace3, aka Karoz Blogger, might surface soon. But it all could be just Baker Bloch and Karoz having some rock music generating fun. They are brothers aren’t they? Karoz instead researches Jeogeot history. TILE. His pictures are up now in the House of Truth they grew up in. Now they just sleep around town anywhere, basically. “What happened to your parents Karoz?” I asked. “Sapphire? I only had a mother that I knew. Gene Fade the mossman was supposedly my real father. Sapphire wasn’t my real mother. Instead a gypsy was. I spent my infancy on The Moon, but was given to Sapphire at a rather early age and stayed in Yeot and then Norum. I became Aqua Teen beyond Aquamarine and moved into a replica of my grandparent’s old house in Yeot.” “Blue Feather Douglas?” I asked. “Nata Lee and Natha Neil,” came the answer. “I remember tea parties, and a doll house. A house that looked *exactly* like their house.” Karoz paused, examined his nails.

“Karoz, talk about Peter if you can.”

“Peter was our manager. Told us we could make it big, but we had to move out of Norum. Said that there was an up and coming town he knew out in Sunklands that we could take over, as it were. A single sink involved. So Pietmond was eventually born. Peter’s Pietmond.”

“So Baker Bloch was with you in Norum.”

“Of course,” Karoz replies. “He’s been here since the beginning.”

“What of Dr. Blood?”

Hucka D.:

I hate to interrupt your dialog baker b., but we must move on to something else. Plus I was suppose to interrupt you at that point. Anything else?

You said you had something else to talk about.

Shark (referencing a severed hand): You found my record, didn’t you? Now… spin it.

“The band rehearsed in your Garage #2. They were *the* band of the town, like the Conchords were for Little New Zealand, or they were planned for as such (smile). Dr. Blood planned this out with you. The owners of the new Stairs Building Gallery complained of the noise. The Knicks (variant band) said: stuff cotton in your ears you freaks, and laughed derisively. Both brothers were there. Dan camped out in the TILE Tower for quite a while, but his official place was Fleep’s Cottage. Both grew up in the House of Truth, and the brothers’ dad owned both it and the garage and possibly the land occupied by Fleep’s Cottage and the TILE Tower. What did they think of the TILE religion? I suppose they followed it. The church use to be in the SoSo Village, but was later replaced by Stairs Building #2. *Their* New Pietmond sort of evolved backwards from yours, with the X-Spot Gallery being the *last* addition. The X-Spot Gallery signaled the band’s fiscal triumph. Questions?”

bb:

How did the Knicks acquire the art of the X-Spot?

Hucka D.:

They bought it. And they also bought the art of your 10×10.

bb:

Did they know of Peter Gabriel, supposedly also in Second Life?

Hucka D.:

*Yes.* They knew of the Sunklands Initiative after a while. Or at least Dr. Blood did.

bb:

And they knew of Z.

Hucka D.:

Yes. He came to town as well, although he wasn’t an official resident. I don’t think.

bb:

Maybe he was.

Hucka D.:

A possibility.

bb:

So it really looks like New Pietmond is “just” a continuation of Lion’s Roar from October. I didn’t go back there all of November, Hucka. I hope the bottles are all right.

Hucka D.:

Knicks, the name of the variant band, is a key, because you’ve compared both Lion’s Roar and New Pietmond — and also, now, Supersity just north of Frank Park — with New York City. But it’s the Kniks, without a “c”. Just looking at your type and over your shoulder and such.

bb:

Spooky. So Hucka, we’re going quite a long way in explaining who actually might have *lived* in New Pietmond.

Hucka D.:

The Kniks obviously. Do you know where the primary Knik is? It’s in… well, I’ll let you find out.

bb:

Knickerbocker is a resident of New York… knicks, then, for sure. They contacted the real world through the Tower of A. Mann, which is a type of psychic parallel of sorts to The Statue of Liberty — Lady Liberty.

Hucka D.:

Mossmen were probably also in New Pietmond. They may have come from the direction of Supersity. Mossmen are depicted in the 10×10 and in SoSo Gallery[ with its Oblong series from that overall opus].

bb:

Tower of A. Mann is obviously related to my recent Facebook post about the many Kinks’ songs ending with “man,” a number of which are now part of the Sunklands Initiative project, Hucka D. A good example is “Powerman”, a unique and rather stunning track from Lola. And this makes me think that the Tower of A. Man is the tower of Powerman, or the Tower of Power (in one incarnation of the building).

Hucka D.:

Right. Insert picture.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/15402278@N08/

bb:

Sorry. Still looking…

12oz_ep013_03

Hucka D.:

Nope. But close enough. You know 12 Oz Mouse’s cardboard city is New Pietmond as well. Dead End Street, the true beginning of Carcass-1, the very first Carcass in a way, in a manner. New Pietmond is a record… now spin it.

1st New Pietmond map

sosomapsmaller

Of course, looming over the entire upper part of the New Pietmond town is the X-Spot Gallery, whose perimeter takes up about 1/2 of my 8016 square meter parcel here. It could be that, technically, all the structures *directly underneath* this giant “X” shaped structure comprise the SoSo Village, a space roughly centered by the SoSo Gallery itself. But with the rapid development now to the south of the X-Spot, something over 1/2 of the entire complex lies beyond this, making the overall appelation New Pietmond necessary it seems. So, to put it another way, New Pietmond has grown beyond its SoSo Village origins (since I began building the town by inserting structures directly beneath the X-Spot), and I think the creation of this map might even parallel some kind of official (pretend) event honoring the establishment or incorporation of New Pietmond. Fairly sure of it.

So are there residents in town already? There must be. 3 small and obvious residences exist within the city boundaries as established by my parcel, or Fleep’s Cottage, West Cottage, and then Rose Cottage 02 in SoSo Village. My thinking is that Dr. Blood might move into West Cottage soon, or already exists there in hyperspace-time. Are other variants already part of the town citizenship? Plant? Marty? Z? Maybe Z… maybe at Fleep’s Cottage.

But back to the map for now, I’ve mentioned the 3 cottages, all lying around the perimeter of the town in north, west, south direction respectively (Fleep, West, Rose). Just to note before I forget, on the New Pietmond/SoSo Village map, up is actually south and right is west instead of east as you would think. This is because I usually envision the town looking uphill from the Otaki Gorge sink directly beneath it, or the site of *original* Pietmond. Complicated, I know.

So we’ve mentioned the SoSo Village taking up almost the entire southern part of town, directly under the X-Spot. We’ve also mentioned that Rose Cottage represents an obvious residence of this site; it could have no other function. Also making up SoSo Village are the SoSo Gallery, as also stated before — the center, really, of the place — then Home Orange across the (Golden Way) sidewalk from it acting as a sort of unofficial office for Baker Bloch, at least on the second floor of two. The first contains a couple of older maps of Pietmond, forming the core of what will probably become a Pietmond Museum, which will most likely be moved to a larger location as it grows. Directly beside Home Orange exists one of two garages in town, or Garage 01 here (since it was the first of the two to be established). An apartment may also be formed in the upper level of *both* garages soon, bringing up the total town residencies to 5. Then beside Garage 02 on the opposite side of Home Orange comes Gallery in the Rocks, which may also be renamed and retooled from its function in former virtual towns of mine. Right now it houses a couple of pics related to Dark Side of the Rainbow. Will it be the center of Rainbowology study? Perhaps. Then across from Gallery in the Rocks we have Rose Cottage (02), then between it and SoSo Gallery a structure I’m presently calling “Slipper”, a kind of gallery created in a former coffee house. The structure is by Moard Ling, who supplied several for the town, including the two highest buildings (Big Boy and Tower of A. Mann).

Then continuing to move through SoSo Village, we have the unoccupied Oculea Train Station to the north, sorry *south* of SoSo Gallery, and beside it another possible occupancy of town called, for now, Stairs Building 01, with a duplicate building existing in the newer part of town. My feeling is that Stairs Building 01 will remain empty, or, in better terms, the site of a possible residence, the while Stairs Building 02 will become another small gallery in town. Then to complete the tour of SoSo Village, we have hollowed out Blog Log in the middle of a park or open space (likely site of a former residence as well — little people this time), and then the Burl Tower leading from SoSo Village to the top of the X-Spot (where you can just mosey around and take in the views).

The Bodega supermarket just below this park probably represents the first structure in our New Pietmond tour here that lies outside SoSo Village proper, since it lies just beyond the overshadowing X-Spot Gallery to its south. Or it could be the *last* structure of SoSo Village, since it fits in with the overall themes of this village. But then moving further north we have the more massive structures of TILE Tower, Big Boy (Tower), and Tower of A. Mann, representing the 3 highest buildings of New Pietmond. Here we have also definitely moved beyond the homey and understandably squat SoSo Village origins of New Pietmond (after all, the buildings had to be slotted below the X-Spot Gallery, and could not project through its floor) into a more modern style. Presently the two highest buildings of town, Big Boy and Tower of A. Mann, are empty. The 3rd highest, or the TILE Tower, represents a home for the Baker Bloch in England exhibit, accessible through the central teleporter of the town beside the SoSo Gallery. Below TILE Tower lies a green, beach house like structure that may hold a museum dedicated to the Big E/ Big Schwa monument that conveniently lies just beyond its front door. Like the Bodega supermarket, there is also some debate whether Big E/Schwa is part of the original SoSo village, since it lies so close to its center. An argument against this is that the monument doesn’t technically lie beneath the X-Spot structure although it is rather snugly nestled against one of its outer walls… hmm, have to think about that more. On the other side of TILE Tower from Big E is the aforementioned Fleep’s Cottage, situated on the perimeter of New Pietmond.

So let’s continue to sweep our way through the newer parts of New Pietmond, including Stairs Building 02 that seems to be evolving into a small gallery (mentioned before), House of Truth at the end of a sidewalk still containing Jeogeot related history pictures, as it has for probably 2 years now, and then Garage #2 immediately to its left on the above map. A further thought: this garage is the location of Dr. Blood’s band’s reheasals, a group acting as perhaps a type of doppleganger for the early Kinks themselves.

Then to complete our tour, we have Hobo Squat (eye candy building), Hole in The Wall (dive bar), West Cottage already mentioned, and then — the last building so far to be added to New Pietmond — the Sink Lair Gallery, which I haven’t yet moved the “Synching Creek Designated Mystery Area” pictures into yet. Also we have Home o’ Fibs just below the Sink Lair Gallery.

How big will New Pietmond Get? 03

Interior of Stairs Building 02. Wait, yeah… 02, not 01. Nothing within this building yet. Empty structures are still the norm rather than the exception in New Pietmond.

House of Truth and Hole in the Wall again; Sink Lair in the background.

Another new addition to New Pietmond is this back alley featuring a pose ball where you can pretend to be a graffiti artist, as Baker is here. This Freebie creation is courtesy of Second Life’s Holy Moly store run by Maxwell Grantley.

At the corner of Golden Way and this back alley. Or is the back alley a continuation of Golden Way? Dunno yet.

The above shot has Baker Bloch starting toward the Gallery in the Rocks structure whose rotated front door is now more easily accessibly thanks to this back alley. Below we see Baker inside — will this still be a tribute structure to Dark Side of the Rainbow, as planned in Carcassonne-1 this past Spring? Again… dunno. Dunno dunno dunno.

Baker sadly stares at a picture of the last phase of Pietmond just before its destruction and dismantlement. Darn that sinister alien craft that came a-visiting that month!

Slipper (kind of a sort of a small gallery?) and Rose Cottage 02 just off Golden Way. The duplicate Rose Cottage 01 would be situation across the Otaki Gorge sink from New Pietmond. As of now, there are 3 duplicate structures in greater New Pietmond: 2 Stairs Buildings, 2 Rose Cottages, and 2 Sink Lair buildings. Hucka D. has compared the latter two to opposite rooks on one side of a chessboard (more soon).

Baker Bloch heads up into the X-Spot Gallery via the SoSo Village teleporter.

A couple of New Pietmond dawn shots to close…

How big will New Pietmond Get? 02

Looking toward Hobo Squat across the side of Big E near the center of town.

A classic SoSo Village/New Pietmond shot: Golden Way.

Now looking north from the same position. Unnamed way as of yet. Really, I suppose only Golden Way has achieved any official status within the town. I’ll have to work on that soon.

And then again from the same position, looking east toward the Bodega supermarket, with Big Boy in background and Big E/Schwa to left.

Big E and New Pietmond.

Big E and New Pietmond 02.

House of Truth dead ahead, with Hole in the Wall (dive bar) to left and Stairs Building 02 to right. There are 2 identical Stairs Buildings in town: 01 and 02. Probably need a rename.

A high, 7 prim freebie ladder connecting the top of Stairs Building 02 with the second floor of the Hobo Squat. Doesn’t have anything to do with the individual buildings themselves, just something I playfully added.

Hole in the Wall interior. Bottom’s up Baker Bloch!

How big will New Pietmond get?

Quick answer: Probably not a lot more. 30 separate structures already (!).

Some more pics, then:

Just as of yesterday or day before, New Pietmond, or what I alternately, for now, call the SoSo Village (more on that in a moment-o), has seen the addition of a number of sidewalks, including this one running beside the newly placed Sink Lair Gallery in the northwest corner of my presently owned property (formerly occupied by trees). Great view toward the skyscrapers (Big Boy, Tower of A. Mann, Tower of TILE) in the eastern part of the town, eh?

Btw, I think I’ll rename the Tower of TILE the TILE Tower to further differentiate the name from the nearby Tower of A. Man… since the conversion to “A. Mann Tower” for the latter doesn’t seem to work as well.

New cottage on the western edge of town, another freebie find, as are the great majority of New Pietmond structures. I believe this cottage will be a (pretend) rental, and I might know who the first tennant will be. More soon on that as well!

Baker Bloch sits on the front steps of the as yet unoccupied “West Cottage”, staring toward Orange House and Obelisk Park in the distance. That’s where all this Pietmond renewal business began not even quite a month ago, although it seems considerably longer since so much has happened in the meantime here. Exciting times in New Pietmond for sure.

Another shot from beside the West Cottage toward the skyscrapers.

This was an amazing freebie find, and I was honored to visit what I assume was the original location for this Tooter Claxton build in Heterocera continent’s Calleta sim, more famous for being the home of Arcadia Asylum slum village. I’ve incorporated a number of her slum structures in New Pietmond.

Oh cool: Just re-found a post on Tooter Claxton’s own blog about his structure pictured below. Check it out.

I switched on the midday environment so that you the reader can see the details of the “hobo squat” a bit better.

To make room for Hobo Squat or HQ for short (center background), I had to move the Home o’ Fibs formerly occupying that space to the area formerly occupied by the House of Truth (left), the latter which I moved more toward the center of New Pietmond (right) instead of merely deleting it. Too nice of a build to just tuck back into my inventory somewhere. Neat that I could create a picture with all 3 builds involved in the move at once. The central structure between the 3 buildings just mentioned is the Sink Lair Gallery, also newly installed as stated before — just attempting to give some perspective of all the changes here.

More new stuff: a kind of main entrance into the town has been created, leading from the northern edge of my parcel into its central district. After experimenting with installing what would become the West Cottage in the place of Fleep’s Cottage (right) I decided to keep the latter in this location, along with its bordering azalea bushes. Across the new sidewalk from it stands another grunge garage for the town, a freebie offered on the Second Life Marketplace by Karyn’s Chopper Parts, billing itself as, “the first and number one motorcycle supply store of Second Life.” Karyn’s shop was also the source of the freebie Hole in the Wall dive bar that I’ll get to in just a minute.

Karyn’s Garage again.

Blog Log

“Twin Peaks: Pilot (#1.1)” (1990)

FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper: Who’s the lady with the log?
Sheriff Harry S. Truman: We call her the Log Lady.
The Log Lady: Shhhhhhh!

Hollowed out log crossing the center of SoSo Village’s main open space. Little people use to live in it. Are they still in the area by chance?

Although I didn’t plan the alignment, the log points directly toward a recently sprouted giant mushroom. Giant mushroom… little people… opposites me thinks.

Looking back through the log, we also see it is directly aligned with the golden Trojan warrior at the heart of SoSo Village on its opposite side. This is yet another “accident”.

My Blog Log definitely saw something.

Some Pietmond Changes

Moved central teleporter of SoSo Village to Middle Square, in front of the dead tree on the nearest corner here.

Added another potential (small) gallery beside SoSo… perhaps a new “SoSo West”??

It’s converted from an old coffee house.

New sidewalks.

Sidewalks surround Pietmond’s Big E now.

Two more new structures to the south of the SoSo Gallery. The one to the right could be yet another small gallery possibility. The far structure with round window probably represents a residence. Who lives there? (so forth so on)

View from the north. The structure to the right here is identical to the foreground structure of the previous photo.

New Pietmond Buildings

I’ve inserted two skyscrapers into the Pietmond landscape, one familar to fans of Pietmond and the other, higher one a brand new addition to the burg. The former is Big Boy Tower or just Big Boy, seen in Pietmond Phase II, and not that far from the new spot I set it up. My original post on this addition is here. Then I think I’ll call the new tower the Tower of Mann or Tower of A. Mann, sort of after rock singer Aimee Mann, who came up in a conversation between the wife and I recently, but of course is more a play off of the name Big Boy next door. The other tower is a big boy indeed, but this is a real *man* of a tower in contrast. I’ll have to measure the height asap but its looks to top the 100 meter mark quite easily. To put this is perspective, the Statue of Liberty is 93 meters high from the ground to Lady Liberty’s torch. And since that’s a statue of a towering woman and here in Pietmond we have Tower of A. Mann statue, perhaps they are more closely related in some as yet undiscovered way. Hafta think about that.

Also coming to Pietmond is Arcadia Asylum’s super nifty Bodega supermarket, packing a lot of entertainment into a trim 32 prim design. I’m not really sure why I’ve never used this structure before in Pietmond or anywhere else I can remember. Hmmm. Anyway, the market sits directly in front of the Tower of A. Mann, almost blocking the opening into this tower.

Pietmond’s new skyscape from the direction of the old Pietmond Heights location. Nice.
