I mentioned once how walking along the piers here in San Francisco is a bit like walking around The Arcade Gacha event with a really great windlight, and now it’s time to take another stroll along the virtual piers at The Arcade. I’ve been saving up my Lindens and I hope you have, too. There are tons of amazingly cool items to collect from some of the most clever designers on the grid. Even if gachas are not your thing, be sure to drop by when things have calmed down to enjoy the beautiful build — sites, sounds, and all!

Believe it or not, Halloween is already creeping its way into Second Life — and there’s new haunted and horrific attractions to brave with your besties. You know what they say about horror movies — never go into the basement alone!

Cica Ghost returns with another stunning build, that is sure to be the perfect photogenic spot to snap some screenshots. The official Second Life Flickr page is where we select images to feature on our social media channels as part of the Pic of the Day program. Maybe your pic will be selected!

Those are just a few of the new Destination Guide Highlights to hit in recent days — but as always — there are plenty more to explore that our editors have conveniently put together below.

You can also submit your spot for Destination Guide consideration, if it’s not there and you’d like it to be.

See you inworld!
