After being greeted by a likeness of Marilyn Monroe, we pass down some steps to a lagoon. The central lagoon is surrounded by a walkway with kiosks honoring Best Movie awards of past decades. There are also exhibits depicting individual stars and a recreation of the Hollywood Bowl as well as the Hollywood sign.

As we follow this corridor we soon spy a lush, verdant sim to the north that warrants further investigation. The aptly-­‐named Greenhouse is largely taken up by an enormous Victorian greenhouse, complete with an enclosed lake, waterwheel and an aerial lounge area. The whole place is peaceful and beautiful... filled with the sounds of running water and surrounded by fields full of flowers. A partially submerged, abandoned and sadly out of place seaplane was idling at the edge of the enclosed lake on the day of my visit -­‐-­‐thus highlighting the importance of finding and reclaiming or at least deleting any items lost during your voyages of discovery.
