I usually roll around 8 or 9 a.m. EST (5 or 6 a.m. SLT), and I've gotten some great locations lately doing that.Maybe it's the Europeans who are abandoning at that time. I'm talking stilt on piers, houseboats, Trads and Newbrooke.

What "scarce resources"? It's not the typo, it's a genuine question. I love boating, too, so water is a bigger draw than the railroads.

There are railroad tracks near Bishop International Airport. People were constantly being delayed by freight trains. I never missed a flight, but I could imagine that happening. Finally a bridge was built to avoid the issue.

I agree, @Sylvia Tamalyn. I would have a front-facing riverview home near Stross if that was the case.

The Polar Express I live about the same distance from some railroad tracks. It's great to be able to hear that lovely whistle every now and then. I've been in love with rail travel ever since I was in kindergarten. We had a class trip on a train from Flint to Durand, Michigan. I've been hooked ever since. I moved to San Francisco via the California Zephyr back in 1976. Paid $50 to return home to Michigan by way of Greyhound. Never missed owning a car when I lived in SF. Public transportation has always been my thing.

Thanks for the inspiration, @Teresa Firelight

@Eirynne SieyesMaybe that kind of open floor plan would work for me. I like the Trads, because I am always faced with the dilemma of furnishing a large space. Even the Winchester seemed too big when they were first released.

Unfortunately I destroy your method of keeping track. I tend to clean out all the info on the parcels (even the music stream). You'd think I'd leave all the windows open, too, to freshen up the home for the next owner. I always chuckle when I encounter those aired out parcels.

Sometimes you get the same region time again even if it isn't the same parcel. That happened to my alt today, but it turned out to be a spot I liked and didn't have before.

I certainly don't know my Moles! Congrats, winners!

Kudos to the Moles and Lindens! There's even an active rez zone, so I was able to zip around in my bumper boat and came upon this lovely spot.

There are back doors in the 512s!

I liked the old Asian theme but was always bummed that I couldn't see out of the windows. Very claustrophic. Yay, windows!

Patch said there will be canals, and beautiful gardens, too!!!

I always delete the music stream before I abandon. They remain from owner to owner. Like some people open all the windows to air the place out for the next owner, I like giving people a clean slate. No picture under Options, no music stream, blank walls.

Sure it does, people love water.

And the new owner of the Forsyte named the parcel - Linden Home. I've heard of this happening. Now I got to see it in action.

I had a lovely spot on Fugu for a couple weeks. Every time I decide to downgrade an alt, she lands the "perfect" spot.

To a certain extent, but then, there's a point when I feel that I'm rolling the dice for no good reason. Ennui has set in. Such a first world problem.

I got it, too, but let it go, since I think I have my forever Trad in Edgar. (Yeah, right, "forever" is relative.) Beautiful spot in Gentle Grove.

I have her deck kit and have used it with my Santiago.

Okay this isn't Life in a 512, but outside of one. My alt landed this incredible Newbrooke entrance in Gardyloo.

Just tacking on an addendum. The stove that goes along with the Plantation Kitchen is free in the Outlet at Apple Fall. I'm one of the few people that doesn't own nearly everything by Apple Fall. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/91528/search?utf8=✓&search[category_id]=&search[maturity_level]=G&search[keywords]=plantation

Unfortunately you're stuck with the Tortuga deck, @EnchantrixLisa. I got a chuckle, because the Santiago tends to be my fave. I would like more deck added, so it extends into the water. We all have our dreams.

I've used an outer shell to change the color of the stilts. They only add 1 prim to the parcel. I don't mind pastels, just not a fan of all of the hues that are included with the stilts.
