Welcome to the town of Clearwater. Clearwater is a quaint New England coastal
community along I-95 in Maine, comprised of eleven idyllic villages; Meadow
Gardens, Paisley Park, Regency Park, Silver Falls, Angel Cove, Aloha Spirit
Bay, ARAB Twilight, Riverview Cove, Liberty Hill, Steel Horses and Lakeside
Falls, the heart of the town. Each
village has a laid back feel and an old world, coastal New England charm with
the pace of daily life a bit slower than the city.
Also located in Clearwater is the village of Palila, home of
the main operational station for their Coast Guard. The Clearwater Coast Guard
serves all of Clearwater, protecting and safeguarding all waterways and providing
support where needed to the local emergency services. The Coast Guard is also responsible for all
federal boating and aviation regulations, enforcement and licensing.
They are currently hiring for most town municipal services,
including police, fire and hospital staff.
They also have a town court, a department of motor vehicles, as well a
department of public works. Private
business ownership opportunities are available.
Family leisure activities include sailing, a movie theatre,
a bowling alley, children's play park, 7seas fishing; and of course grocery
shopping in their very own [LIFE2] market.
The couple that bring you the Town of Clearwater are Jericho
Napoli and Daniella Clearwater.
Jericho Napoli hails from a small town on the East Coast of
the United States and is a successful self-made businessman.
Daniella Clearwater is also from a small town on the North
East Coast of the United States and works in public safety and has a law
degree. She says she found SL while
surfing Facebook during an extremely boring game between the New England
Patriots and Arizona Cardinals.
Their rationale for wanting to create and maintain a region
of their own was their desire to provide a fun and relaxed environment in which
like-minded people can roleplay without the out of character drama seen at most
places. That and to give their residents
a place where they feel like they belong and matter. Each day they make the decision to continue
this endeavour because they love what they do and they genuinely enjoy bringing
happiness to others.
The region has evolved and progressed from a mainly
residential rental only estate of seven sims, to its own community and working
town that currently spans eleven sims. Within the past nine months, they have brought
in the Anchorage Coast Guard, established a police department, a fire
department and a hospital and have instituted regular monthly town meetings for
all residents to attend, which gives them the opportunity to participate in and
invest in the creation of their community.
They’re proud to say that we have grown into a close community, one in
which we all know our neighbours and genuinely care for each other. It truly has become a place to call home,
rather than just a place where a house can be rented.
This is very much a roleplay community which manifests
itself in roleplay that is largely emergency services based. They provide an in-character group chat in
which residents can call 911 and request assistance. The chat also provides a platform for new
story arcs or the continuation of current threads or even the opportunity to
make an in-character phone call. All
role players, and residents for that matter, must obey the cardinal rule of
‘consent’ as nothing is forced and they wish to foster a healthy and fun
atmosphere for everyone who wants to participate, to whatever degree that may
be.
In addition to emergency services role play, there are many
areas which are staged to cultivate role play of just “everyday living,” such
as cafes, a bank, restaurants and the like.
Residents can make the Town of Clearwater their home without
participating in the role play. So while Clearwater is a roleplay community, it’s
also a residential community with caring and tight-knit neighbourhoods. Most residents
have made friends and formed bonds, bonds that have truly enhanced and helped
turn the community into a family and a real home for those in search of just
that.
Currently the estate hosts weekly movie nights at the
Riverview Cove Cinema. Clearwater residents
as well as all citizens of Second Life are also invited to a carnival, hosted
by DARE Carnivals, to celebrate the community every few months. They also host a community parties for
holidays like Valentine’s Day and Halloween with region-wide trick or treating
for the kids.
Clearwater is home to two congregations where weekly
services are held, each with loyal and consistent attendance.
Clearwater is a proud member of the Relay for Life team “The
Fighting Sunflowers,” and will be hosting various fundraising events which will
include a concert once the fundraising efforts are underway.
The Town of Clearwater is also very proud to bring the
Broncos, a UFL SL Football League team, to the town in the coming months. With the Broncos comes regular games, pep
rallies, off season concerts and paintball games.
*What are the various rental options offered on your region,
both from a residential and a commercial point of view?
The Town of Clearwater strives to provide a price point for
everyone and accommodate various tastes with regards to the rental
options. They strive to be as inclusive
as possible and never want the rentals to become prohibitive by any means. The current residential rate sits at the
competitive market rate of L$2.1 per prim and they cater for the singleton just
as much as to a family of five. They offer
prim rentals from 200 prims up to full homestead rentals (subject to
availability), with the option to decrease or increase your prims depending on
your needs and prim availability. They
have a comprehensive selection of homes and townhouses, from big name creators,
such as Dominion; ROOST; Redgrave Homes and Barnes Anubis. They constantly
watch the market for new builds to keep their inventory fresh and in
vogue.
Depending on the sim, they also allow the use of one’s own
home provided it keeps with the New England coastal theme. Potential residents also have the opportunity
to commission a custom-built home from Hearth Strings, an up and coming
residential and commercial builder, with an in world store in Lakeside
Falls. Clearwater’s downtown area boasts
several demonstrations of the incredible talent of co-owner Mikie
Rihadra-Gaelyth in the municipal buildings and hospital.
Commercial rentals as well as boat slip rentals can be found
in the downtown areas of Lakeside Falls and Riverview Cove. Commercial and boat slip rates are also
competitive at L$2.5 per prim. If a
business is roleplay-based or is solely for roleplay purposes, they offer a
discounted rate of L$2.1 per prim.
It’s Jericho and Daniella’s intention to continue on their
current course, and to grow and cultivate the community into the very best it
can be and to have a lot of fun while doing it.
They look forward to the possibilities the future holds for them.
Pop in and visit them.
They will welcome you home to Clearwater!
