Long beach is perhaps the longest beach in opensim. More than 2 km long. (For draw distance reason at 1024 I can't take full picture.) Be careful with traffic at the promenade street. Lot of walkers and skaters. So don't stand around on pavement and look in the air lol This part of Big City Life is not leaned on NYC. More inspiration comes from Tel Aviv. But is a fantasy VR city anyway. lol

OK I wanted to share these two outside the dumps and the crap group too as I did a dump run to share new and old crap. I saw the old fashioned desk on the left first and it got me thinking about how much things have changed in terms of what a desk is and how we use it. So I put together and built some stuff to make the modern desk on the right.

Apologies that there is no sit pose in the old fashioned desk chair. But on the modern desk you can get all the separates in the contents including a wearable headset.

They are both available along with many many funs things you can find from many amazing creators at two glorious dumps:
