The Legion Project

The Legion Project is wonderfully photogenic spot nestled into a corner of the sim Port Said. The parcel description says, "All Are Welcome - Two stages open to the public, ask on group to send notices," by which I take it to mean that the stages (there are two) are pretty much up for grabs, like open mics. The scene invites comfortable and informal social interaction, with sofas rather than chairs, and the rather bohemian Central Perk coffee house is perfect for a relaxed conversation over java.

A few boutique shops dot the landscape, as do a couple galleries. I particularly enjoyed the works by Rodriguez Munro at the rainy Grey November Gallery (shown below). Be sure to explore, as The Legion Project is spread out over several seemingly unconnected islands and parcels. A quick glance around found that the most of the build was contributed by lakua Arriaga of ionic (which has a shop here), but almost everywhere are objects owned by different people, suggesting this is truly a collaborative endeavor.
