So it's that time of year again, and yes...we're bringing you a new neighborhood! This time around, we're not creating it though — we're going to have all of you help us design it!

How, you ask? Simple. Over the next few days, we'll be posting a series of blogs asking all of you in the community to submit ideas, design, and vote! The neighborhood will be something built in the ocean, and yes...you get to pick the location!

But it doesn't end there! One lucky islander's idea will be brought to life by the island — your design will be the new neighborhood!

So stay tuned...it's all happening in a blink of an eye!

Memorial Day: A National Moment of Remembrance

| No Comments

A quick head's up: This coming Monday, all of us on the island will be honoring Memorial DayClick here to learn about third-party website links

What's it all about? Well, Memorial Day (aka Decoration Day) was established in Waterloo, New York, back in 1866 to pay tribute to the brave men and women who served our country. The island is just one of the many communities that'll celebrate the day in loving memory of the ones we've lost.

We'll be back on Tuesday, so hang tight if you have questions or comments. In the meantime, from all of us here, have a wonderful Memorial Day!

As you can see from the pics, the train carts each have their own theme and decoration — super trendy and creative! Just take a look at it "choo-choo-ing" around into the station, and how patient the mushroom islanders are as they wait for their train to arrive!

Here comes the train! (click for larger image in a new window)

And if you haven't seen the ice skating rink, you've got to check it out! It's right outside the station — and hey, if your train is running late, what better to do than to go for a spin on ice?

The island paparazzi have just caught sight of two homes from our newest contestant, Scorpio!

Earth Day!

So, I know we just celebrated Earth Hour, but this month is even more special!

Why? Well, it's "Keep America Beautiful Month!" Click here to learn about third-party website links If you don't live in America, it's all good — just sharing and spreading the Green-love Click here to learn about third-party website links to all the corners of earth!

Oh, and if you didn't know already, today is also Earth DayClick here to learn about third-party website links

Hmm...do you remember sitting in class in first and second grade, and you had to draw Earth with a bunch of people holding hands Click here to learn about third-party website links around it? Yea, it's kind of like that, except now you're probably more artistic, and when you cut the Earth out, it's actually round! Hey, I'll admit it — I wasn't the most coordinated with my safety scissors. But the point was to show our support for the green and blue that makes up our amazing planet and (of course) only home.

Anyhow, come celebrate with us as we party for Green! Seriously, I started planting tomatoes and stuff in my Isla Del Sol home and will hopefully have my own veggie garden by summer! How are you celebrating and supporting Earth Day? Share with us!

P.S. Don't forget to submit in your spring homes — I can't wait to see them!

Happy Earth Day 2009! (click to find out more)

About me:

On quiet afternoons on the island, I find new islanders and show them around. Almost every Friday night some friends that I've had for years meet up with me, and we can chat for hours without getting bored. I enjoy "Simming" homes, so drop me a gram if you'd like any help on a build!


Best Island Memory:

I can remember my first journey around the island like it was yesterday. It was on June 21, 2007, I met so many friendly islanders that day who showed me all of the important locations. Very few of them still come online, but I've also made many new friends through the years of being a Stagecoach citizen.
