The Kaas Factorij

Away from route 66, in Mashpee, known for The Pen and the liquid they call espresso, there is a building named Kaas Factorij. Outlooking the bay of Triton and the Blue Channel the fully concrete building is in Art-Deco style. It was build as a mansion for a wealthy family. At that time there were parks around the building as the head of the family loved hunting pheasants. After the introduction of property taxes the lands got fragmented, re purposed and the building became vacant.

It was recently bought up by somebody that could be connected to the Jeogeot colonists.

The building is now in use as a cheese factory and cheese retail. Despite the cows there it is unknown where the milk is coming from and who is (are) running the operation.

You can visit the Kaas Factorij and discover the process in making cheese. You can even take home some cheese.

It has been reported that boats and barges sometimes, at night, land on the shores of Triton and offload goods that are taken to this building. You can often find someone at the top floor, even on the roof, with binoculars looking out over the bay.

If you see anything suspicious around here please report this to the head of police, officer T.J. Hooker.

Bay City Post - August 2016


WELCOME to the fifty-ninth issue of the Bay City Post! - Keeping you updated on the best city on the grid!  
 
August will bring with it Hot Bay City Nights, with car washes to benefit Child's Play charity, and the annual crowning of Miss Bay City! To keep updated on those exciting events, as well as Bay City's weekly rumble, monthly Espresso Night (see below), and occasional block parties, please feel free to join the Bay City Alliance group. Regular and varied community events are part of what makes Bay City unique, and if you are thinking of moving to our fair city, attending these events is a great way to get to know the people who already call Bay City home.

Two evenings ago, I attended Espresso Night at The Pen, a monthly event during which Bay City residents (or anyone from across the Grid!) are invited to gather together in a virtual coffeehouse to exchange stories, poems, ideas, joys and sorrows, or expound upon any topic imaginable - while remembering that The Pen is in a G-rated region, and that mimes, while occasionally entertaining, are expressly forbidden. It occurred to me during the evening what an unusual and wonderful thing we have in Espresso Night, and in the Bay City community in general. There are certainly private sims where communities exist, and where people gather to chat or have events. The difference is, those sims are generally started by a group of friends, so the communities which occur within them are already formed. Bay City is on the Mainland, and is comprised of 46 (!) sims. Certainly those of us who live or work there are not going to know all of our neighbors, and not all of us are going to get along all of the time. And yet, a strong-knit community does indeed exist  - of people who play together, work together on projects, and work out our occasional differences in a democratic way (such as throwing people in the canals or burning down the city on a regular basis). Seriously though, the community that exists here is something rare and unique, and I feel privileged to be a part of it.

A few months ago, I interviewed Torley Linden about his favorite places on the Mainland, and he placed The Pen, and Espresso Night in particular, at the top of his list. Here is what he had to say:

"In my early Second Life as a Linden, Robin Linden was a tremendously positive influence on me, and she gave me a book called The Great Good Place by Ray Oldenburg. It's about the importance of social surroundings like coffeeshops in creating community. (Context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place) To this day, I think one of the best examples of SL heritage is the monthly event hosted by Marianne McCann that breathes life into this beatnik building, which I've had the joy of attending on several occasions with friends. You mentioned Espresso Yourself in a previous post, and I recommend that any new Resident of Second Life should explore the broader Bay City — including the museum! — to get a feel for an abundant culture that continues to thrive over the years."

Echoing Torley's sentiments, if you are reading this paper, you are at least somewhat interested in Bay City and what happens here. I'd urge you to get more involved - attend some events or throw an event, get to know your neighbors, and stop by the Community Center for information and freebies, or to attend a weekly Bay City Alliance meeting. What makes this city fabulous is the people who live and work here, and all of the combined interests and efforts of those people. What will YOUR contribution be?

***************************************************
WELCOME to the twenty-eighth issue of the Bay City Post! -Keeping you updated on the best city on the grid.

Freedom!

Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it?! We sometimes lose sight sometimes lose the fight … one step back two forward.

First they came for the prims…. But I wasn’t a prim, then they came for the children… but I wasn’t a child. (OK the child thing worked out pretty well) Then they came for the gamblers… but I wasn’t a gambler either. The sex addicts they put in a concentration camp :o, the spammers, griefers, bots… ok maybe some of that was good… The vampires and furries … alright we got moles \o/ Moles! But when they came for the Barbie’s… there was nobody left to speak up for me… you’d speak up for me wouldn’t you?!? Of course I’m seven feet tall and beautiful in RL… get your hands off my GOS!!!
In the United States the Supreme Court had a moment of clarity in ruling that the federal government can no longer fail to recognize same sex marriages. Can you imagine that in some of our lifetimes there was a time when interracial marriages were not allowed?! WT?!
We all share one fundamental thing. That is that we are human. We all love. We all bleed. (Sometimes much to our vampire friend’s delight…. eeek) We all share wonder, joy, sorrow, hope, and so much more. I hope all discrimination will be at an end very very soon.
I pray that everyone can live in a free society; one that will help us to attain out highest ambitions, allow us to reach our greatest potentialities and to grow, prosper, and share together in the bounties of this world.
May we all someday be understood, accepted… or at the very least respected. That I demand for myself and for others. I celebrate you all!

oooooh it’s a twofer!

Happy July everyone!!!!
Mari wants BIG Boom…. come to see the fireworks at the Bay City fairgrounds!!!
