Toledo Meeting in Second Life - There was a post a while back about Second Life and possible having people from Toledo meeting there for fun.

River East dispute property - Interesting read, just find it odd they only had to pay $1 a year to rent this property. Both sides have valid points. If River East did spend so much in renovations then they deserve something. Then again I can understand the cities view, they broke the contract. I find it sad that even though they were given a contact to rent at only $1 a year, in 24 years they still didnt pay it. Yet soaked up all the money by subleasing it to small businesses. - More>>
