I always like to believe that it is better to go with what you know. And I certainly know the Shelter. That is why i’ve chosen it for my second review. the Shelter was founded on August 20th, 2004 by Travis Lambert and Lars Bismark. It originally started as a small place for newbies to come and not be harrassed by sexual encounters, bad language, and overall chaos that Second Life breeds. From there, it expanded into what it is today. A dance club, freebie spot, help center, free rent shopping mall, and an over-all newbie friendly location.

the Shelter is almost the only reason I did not quit Second Life after my first week. The people here were great to me, and although I moved on to new things. I still stop in to visit, and share my knowledge with the next generation of newcomers.
As soon as you enter the Shelter you notice a few things, first is the huge amount of freebies littering the floor. These are usually very high quality, and even include free detailed skins for new residents. The next thing you will notice (after about 10 friendly Shelter-Inhabitants say hello!) is the dance floor, you can alway’s find people dancing the day away here and helping newcomers get started.
Up the stairs are where some great events are held, such as Second Fortune, Payment Podium and Trivial Obsession. Everyone can join in these games and win cool prizes from L$ to gift packages, and more.

Did I mention Pool Parties somewhere? Oh yes, head out back and you’ve got a great spot to swim, dive, and lounge around waiting for the right newbie to come in from help island and sweep you off your prim shoes. Ehem, where was I? Right, pool, check!

From the pool area, take a short flight straight up. You should come to the little green house perched on the top floor of the building. Here there is a money tree for new residents to get some extra cash, as well as nice little garden and fountain to hang around.
| The Money Tree stands ready to fend off hordes of broke newbies! |
I personally suggest going to the Shelter on sundays when they hold their Pool Parties and Formal at night. Also I have news that they are about to redo the entire Shelter, and I bet it looks great. So landmark the area and come back in a few weeks, once the upgrade is done ill be sure to review it again!
Young or old, if you are looking for a great place to visit with less sleeze and a big friendly group of people. the Shelter may be the place for you.
I’ll leave you, in closing, with me getting down with my bad self on the Shelter bartop.
