WELCOME to the fifty-eighth issue of the Bay City Post! - Keeping you updated on the best city on the grid!
I'm writing this from an airport in first life, waiting to board an overnight flight across the Pond to London, then eventually to Cork, Ireland. Yes, I work to support my travel habit, and am terribly fond of wandering and adventuring in both lives. (Speaking of, a huge thank you to the Bay City Chief of Police for his best wishes on my own personal new adventure...and for keeping the Police Station in Edgartown!)
Now, let's see what kind of adventures our reporters have been up to this month. Knowing I was heading to Ireland soon, they were wonderful at getting their copy to me early. Post reporters are the BEST. Without further ado, here's the July issue of the Bay City Post!

BAY CITY AT SL13B
by Marianne McCann, Ace Reporter
"City of Adventure" attraction highlights the city's wilder side
It
is time for Second Life's 13th anniversary of exiting beta, and the
annual party will be held from 19 June to 3 July. The event, Labeled
"SL13," hosts a pick of some of the best of Second Life® -- and you know
that Bay City is there!
Bay
City's display is "City of Adventure," reflecting the "A Shared
Adventure" theme for SL13B, and highlighting some of the more
adventurous parts of Bay City. Features include the Asylum, the Falmouth
Hotel, Hairy Hippo Fun Land, and other places on a a large 3-D map of
Bay City.
As
has been the case for years, the build itself also borrows from many
mid-century places and technologies. The exterior is based loosely on
the old Port Authority Bus Terminal in downtown New York City. Inside,
it uses an "Omnimover" ride system, created by WED Enterprises for
Disneyland attractions such as "Adventure Thru Inner Space" and "Haunted
Mansion" at the top end of Bay City's theme years. Also, the big map of
Bay City is a nod to the map of Manhattan from the New York City
exhibit at the New York World's Fair in 1964-65.
We hope you'll stop by the exhibit in SL13B Spellbound before the end of the event. and explore the City of Adventure!
