The Palomma Plaza

 

 By Gemma Cleanslate

This is a reminder for those who are helping new residents of Second Life or are shopping for themselves on a budget. In January 2023 the sad news of Palomma Casanova’s passing hit the community with shock. The Free Dove store had been a staple in SL since almost the beginning. It was believed that the store would disappear. But fortunately Shelby Monitor, a close friend in Second Life and real-life was granted permission to continue it.

And it is thriving. For those not familiar with the Palomma Plaza , the present name for the store , many fashion designers donate outfits, shoes, avatar accessories, jewelry, and so much more free to group members and newbies and anyone who stops by.

The fashions are up to date and fit many mesh bodies. I always see something I would like to wear and grab it when I visit. There is a donation jar for those who can afford it and it supports the store.

Upstairs many of the creators have shops where one can visit and pay for their wares. Their presence also supports the free shopping. It is a great boon to everyone involved. Thanks to Shelby for keeping it all going .

Outside the store on the other side there is a lovely memorial to Palomma Casanova stop and see it.

Look for teleports that take you to lovely locations , Dove’s Dream Park on the region, the marina, the forest, and other locations of interest . We will remember Palomma and her kindness that was never ending. Stop by and bring those who need help with their Second Life décor. Shelby also owns Shelbyfield , avatars and fashions. Thanks Shelby!!

One other thing by the way now that summer is here . Yosemite has camp sites for your weekend getaway that cost only 1L a night. What a bargain! Take the kids or friends to have a great camping experience with horseback riding, hiking trails, swimming, and other activities on this beautiful region .

Check out the visitor center for freebies too. There is a great teleport hud with all the places to see at the rental center where you can find the rent locator for the tents. I saw that there is anew Chapel near the visitors center where one can have a wedding or other ceremony or quiet meditation. You can contact Jadin Emerald. There are also teleport pads all around the main areas of activity to use.
