Second Life Destinations: "1920s - 1940s New York in Time Portal"




Linden Lab's "Second Life Destinations" from a few days ago is a small step to a time and place most of us have seen only in movies, downtown New York in the 1920s-1940s period.


Put on your very best era-appropriate outfit (think Guys and Dolls, The Great Gatsby, The Aviator, or Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries) and step through the Time Portal and into New York in the 1920 - 1940s. This week’s Destination video takes a jazzy glimpse into the steaming streets and humming hustle of New York during one of it’s most interesting times. Sip a daring drink the speakeasy, cut some rug at the Cocoanut Grove, and experience life outside our current timeline, as you travel back to the noir time of an era gone by!

Gemma Cleanslate wrote an article about the Time Portal in January 2017, with 1920s-1940s New York as one of a few destinations aspiring time travelers can go to.

Gemma Cleanslate's latest travels took her to a place that can take visitors to other places representing different time periods, the Time Portal Community.
