Agent1's AW Recommendation

Tristram - AW 1956s 11995w

JSD2K has a town for all of you looking for land and some friends to hang out with. There's quite a bit of land available, and expansion is an option if it's needed. The only catch I could find about this town is that it's a citizen-only one; no tourist builds are allowed right now. Go have a look and maybe you'll meet some people that could turn out to be your friends in the future. You might even find a spot to build that's just right! :)

Caring's Atlantis Recommendation

This is a new build called Machinations built by Trexter Ziam at Atlantis 929.0S 900.0W -2.0a 180. Trexter always has interesting builds!

Canopus' Mars Recommendation

The Mars Travel Bureau Tours of the best places on Mars generally take visitors to a series of sites in one of Mars' regions. But there are a few sites so impressive that they deserve a Tour all to themselves: the "Sites of Planetary Importance". Linear Alpha is one of these great sites, so large and so interesting that you could spend a day just wandering around, admiring the creativity of its builders. There are, for instance, galleries, factories, a convention center, engineering works, water mines, office buildings, a hotel, and the system of subways/trams/glidepaths within Linear City itself.

Linear Alpha is the product of a new, younger generation of Mars architects and engineers, a city that extends in every direction from the Linear Alpha Railway Station, with block after block of fascinating new designs. Foremost among these builders are Haver, Zig Theos, Ozone, and Veger, with a few landmarks from the older generation. You can get to Linear Alpha Station (Mars 582N 151W 0.36A 195) on the special Linear Alpha Express Trains of the Elysium Railway, from Elysium Spaceport (Mars 305N 504W 11A). Visitors from Earth should go to Elysium Spaceport directly from the Orbiting Space Station (0N 953W 30.6A).

P.S. I think I just discovered the missing ZPod launched in 2000 by NASA, toward the South Polar Icecap. I found it during this year's Mars Census, at Mars 827S 13W. Amazing how it could have been lost for so long (since it's 2098 now here on Mars)! :o)

GooberKing's UTN Recommendation

AlphaMillenia City - AW 8575.8S 18511.3W

Started as a joint project by then-"Millenium Man" Young Phalpha and then-"AlphaCentauri" LilAlpha Phalpha this city has since grown into a thing of natural beauty. Built on an outdoor theme, this place is full of open areas with parks and nice landscaping. Don't forget to check out the SkyWalk Tower for your cross-town needs and the AlphaMillenia Bank. This town is part of USWF as well, so if you have an account, there's even more for you to do here! Check it out today!

AWCOMREG's Recommendation

NOVA

If you are looking for new world to call home then NOVA would be the world for you. If you're an avid Alpha fan but want the use of more objects, NOVA has a separator world, IMPLODE, that houses many interesting objects for use in NOVA. NOVA is a free building world that has been around for about 3 years now. There are many intriguing builds of all types to keep you exploring for hours. Not only is NOVA an excellent world for building but it also offers a warm, family-like atmosphere. For you tourists out there, NOVA is tourist friendly.

AWTeen's Recommendation

Have a case of the winter blues? If so, I encourage you to check out tomb stone's Stone Hollow town. Located at AWTeen 578n 542w, Stone Hollow, as tomb stone points out, "is a beautiful town with mountains and lush green fields. It is a great place to visit and meet other people to chat with." If you're taking a stroll around the universe this month, be sure to stop by tomb stone's town. Lots are currently available.

Built: July 21st 1995 (can't argue with that date!)
Builder(s): it no. 29 (Gersh) and cit no. 28 (KingWood)
Coords: AW 190N 0E

... look to the west too, you may find some stuff by cit no. 3 from around the same date (who's name I don't recall, unfortunately)

... What? You're still here? You know the drill... What are you waiting for? Go look now! :)
