The Bellisseria Commissary And Moleseum

 

From Gemma Cleanslate

 

Prokofy Neva has reopened the Bellisseria Commissary in Queen’s Gambit . I went over Saturday to collect my passport stamps and had to spend some time looking into all the rooms. 

 

It is fun place to visit as usual. The usual breakup room is in place so you can go sit and have a talk with Marge who will help you work through the tough time.

 

As therapy after your chat you have a choice of activities to keep your mind busy. Downstairs in the back room you will find a vacuum and pushing it through out the house can be calming.. or not. Or, in the kitchen check out the stove and perhaps learn a new recipe and collect ingredients. If you like to bring along friends how about having a pie eating contest at the kitchen table or if you like a quiet afternoon with an opponent, sit down at the chess table and have a game. Be sure to check out all the interesting art throughout the house. You might find one for free.

Prokofy has a special challenge for you. Search around the house and locate a scroll. Pretty well hidden but I found it . Then search around again and find the diplomatic pouch that contains a lovely gift . I was happy to find that and already have it out on my side table. Look around carefully because there are more gifts in plain sight. There is a notecard to explain all this. For pure relaxation have a seat in the famous Mushroom room upstairs before you leave. You may be tempted to to hang out there when the desire comes to be alone in a safe place.

The whole weekend at the Bellisseria fairgrounds was billed as “Mole Day”. The whole place was filled with remembrances of Mole activity over the past years. Photos of Moles lined the walkways and many of their little inventions were placed around the grassy areas.

A wonderful Moleseum was set up showing many of their major builds over the past 16 years. Bay city was a huge one. I remember when that opened and we went over to explore. I learned how to bowl there. I am sorry to say I missed the opening day with Abnor’s speech but glad to listen to it on Youtube.

There were parties Friday through Sunday and many come over to visit and join the fun. My favorite part was the Mole Mountain where so many of the old and new Mole bears were on display. It was a great weekend for all attendees.

The Bellisseria Commissary

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

Saturday mornings my first task every week is to read The Gazette. This is the Journal of Record of the Bellisserian Bureau of Bureaucracy that I often write about in the SL Newser. https://lastditch.typepad.com/bbbgazette/ . This way I can keep track of events that are upcoming and get the latest places that have added terminals for passport stamps. I then head right over to collect the new stamps before I miss any. It also gives me a chance to see new places on the grid that might make an article about interesting places you might enjoy visiting. Terminals for passport stamps available to all not only Bellisseria residents , are all over the grid on different continents and private regions also.

This Saturday I actually revisited a building that I meant to write about before but had misplaced information about it. This is the Bellisseria Commissary on Hartsmere.

Although there was a stamp terminal there before now there is also a new one upstairs in a room called the Breakup Room. It is a comfortable room with a sofa and large art pieces. In a chair sits Margo. Margo will talk to you about your issues if you address her. She is very smart.

If you wander next door there is a delightful room that seems a bit out of place but at the Commissary but a nice place to sit and relax. It is called Mushroom Land. Be sure to take a look at all the art pieces in the rooms . There are some early Linden items here and there . Wander into other rooms you will find goodies to collect . At the entrance there is an information card that tells you about the commissary. There is food in most rooms. I had a great bowl of chili and also a filling club sandwich while I looked around. I also picked up an interesting notecard that directed me to other locations where I could talk to more botchats . I will check them out.

Another charming location with a new stamp terminal that I checked out was Kasada. I would recommend you take a tour there. It has a little beach right near the entrance that has fun water. ski-doos to take a ride around the harbor.

Up on the hilltop is a lovely old fashioned bar to check out. From The Gazette I learned that Kasada is a resurrection with a do over of an old Kasada that was a biker hangout ,but has become a nature themed location with,”. several nice places to relax, hang out and have fun. Rezz a boat and sail to the Blake Sea or just relax, have fun and meet others from all over the world.”

Go check it out. https://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Ennis/66/59/24

After all this I went over to attend the opening of the Relay for Life for 2024!
