Just a small town Dwarfin, living in a lonely world.

I decided to take a trip to a small working class region of Second Life by the name of Crestwick Island and I was totally blown away by its gritty beauty.

The actual parcel description states :

Crestwick Island is a small working class town situated on an Island in the middle of a beautiful bay. The streets are lined faux businesses and shops as well as parks, marsh land and other surprises including a giant hill that supports an observatory.

This is a location that works really well, although it’s a shame that the business on the streets are faux because the record store looks really funky!

The creators of this wonderful location are Ciphertazi Wandin and Isa Messioptra, who also doubles as The Mayor, although I don’t know if she was democratically elected.

The way the creators have captured a small town is really impressive. This is a region where you hope the experience never ends, it goes on and on and on and on.

Over on the destination guide there’s some excellent praise for this region from a user called Stephi Dreme :

I found my self effortlessly going from one place to the next. this creator knows how too design a sim its amazing every nook & crany is filled . worlds with in a world. I so much enjoyed walking up the cliff very realistic. thanx to creator & kudos for a job very well done. & I wasn’t spamed once during entire visit also a plus.

Content and region creators, there are some tips there on how to make your creations appealing.

This is most definitely a region where you don’t stop believing, you hold onto that feeling, it’s wonderfully atmospheric and trust me, it’s well worth a visit.
