The Vivid Route Initiative Project

Every day people login to Second Life for various reasons. Some login for play and recreation, others for social interaction, yet there is a smaller group who login with the intent of making Second Life better for everyone else. One of these SL visionaries is the focus here today.

The Vivid Route Initiative Projects main purpose is to create a more enjoyable mainland experience. VRI is lead by Reklame Resident, and consist of small spots of land at the roadside with the main objective of entertaining or assisting mainland travelers with imaginative venues to dance, relax, get tourist information, or rez vehicles along Linden roads and waterways. 

VRI is a ongoing work in progress. Currently very few of those places are as yet finished. Recently the installation of vehicle rezzers commenced.

The VRI group encourages mainland parcel owners to break away from uninspired land covered with carelessly built objects and giant picturewalls or banlines that really look awful. Unchecking "avatars can see me" is the best form of privacy there is. On the flip slide, if you are dealing with a less than thoughtful neighbor there is (thankfully!) always the option to derender their items.

There's also a grocery store for shopping, a gym to keep that nice pixel shape, especially if you just finished eating at Gigi's Bakery next door. There's also a library, post office, cigar lounge for relaxing, and a Mexican Restaurant up around the corner!
