			I know I've been to LDPW office hours in the past (probably several years ago). I cannot, however, find any current information about that. If they're still going on, it might be useful if they were listed on this page. — [[User:William Gide\|William Gide]] 10:19, 3 September 2011 (PDT)

			== How about a "sightings" page? ==

			A place, linked to from the main LDPW page, for Residents to post links to their pictures / stories / weblog entries about the LDPW and the Moles and so on? I think that'd be fun, and increase awareness and participation an' all. (I almost created one myself, but I got shy!)

			I have a Sighting to start it out with: [[http://daleinnis.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/a-bloomin-mole/ Bloomin' Mole!]]

	The other suggestion that I have also has to do with navigating the city with the layout as it is. It looks cool from above, very regular and sensible. But when I was cruising around at ground level, it was very confusing, I felt rather like a rat in a maze. This was under the current conditions of plenty of open space that gave me lots visual queues as to where I was. I have to believe that as the build matures, and some of the skyline drops out, this issue will be compounded. Even with the minimap up, it was a little hard cruising around on a slow scooter and figuring out where I was / wanted to go next. My suggestion is that the mini- and main maps get some supplementation to test out. Street names and signage would go a long way on that point. Perhaps you could offer detailed map textures (with street name labels) at kiosks at regularly spaced intervals. Maybe you could try that in a single sim or two to start. I think it would make a big difference.		The other suggestion that I have also has to do with navigating the city with the layout as it is. It looks cool from above, very regular and sensible.

	One last, selfish suggestion... the bowling alley is awesome :). As you build out more regions, please do put in free, lightweight activities like this... how about a bocce, lawn chess / checkers, tennis (remember pong?) or croquet?

	One of the things that was commented-on early on was the use of linear, but sometimes not square-to-grid orientation of parcels in the Bay City sims. Having a mainland parcel that has features which make it not square-to-grid oriented, I know first hand what challenge it can be as a novice builder under these circumstances. So, I want to suggest that perhaps those of you that are more experienced than I might put on your PR hats and come up with a builders kit for the Bay City folks to assist with the problem of non-square and angle oriented builds. Maybe this is as simple as having Torley fashion-up one of his awesome you-tube vids with some tips and tricks.
