I was telling Ara Monday how bad Soho needed an out and out blizzard. I was envisioning blasts of icy cold sleet and snow, trees swaying in the wind, and such little visibility you'd have to use your mini map to survive.
Alas, I'm not that talented :/ I figured the least I could do was to welcome our renters with a nice, fresh, 3' deep blanket of snow, (freshly shoveled by yours truly of course.) Can't have our renters and their customers sliding all over the place :)
So here's a little selection of pics from this morning's excitement :)
 |
| The laying of the snow was quite interesting, but far easier than I thought it would be! Each doorway had been shoveled before the next wave came along. |
 |
| Grab your mittens and head over to Soho! Even the snowman got snowed in! The holiday tree on the right still has some great gifts left in it for anyone who comes and clicks it. I checked and there's still one 1-prim piano (with duets!), a few pieces of lovely art work, full perm textures, two guitars and a rideable reindeer! |

| Alas, after a shoveling for a while, too many people came through and muddied everything up. Oh well. It's still snowing. Maybe the footprints will disappear ;) |
 |
| Here I am falling on the ice under the snow. You should see the shiner that caused. |
 |
| I'd blame the ice again, but really I'd just left the bar. No, I don't think 10am EST is too early for a few drinks, thank you very much. |
 |
| Back to more shoveling. Have to take good care of our guests and renters ;) |
Haha, what good is knowing Blender and PhotoShop if you can't use them to have fun?
Anyway, on to the other stuff...
We currently have no retail/gallery spaces open, but can possibly make room for anyone with enough determination to wait a few days. Write Araminta or me and we'll see what we can do.
We do have a bunch of very nice residential spaces open though, so if you're looking for a loft, apartment, condo or row house in a quiet part of the city, stop by the rental office or shoot one of us an IM and we'll give you a tour :) There are rental office TP's all over the city, and "Virtual Soho, Manhattan" can easily be found in search.
