Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes: The End of Season 1 & The Start of Season 2

Hokay!

There are only 390 inches left in the first Plymouth colony. 575 people from around the world have inchvested in 9,610 inches in Detroit. Awesome. Get them while they’re hot right here and join the inchventure at its earliest stage — not least because you will kick yourself later if you do not. ;)

When the remaining inches go, that will mark the end of LOVELAND season 1 and the site will hibernate for a hot second. Then the doors will blow open again with LOVELAND season 2 in the spring. Fresh face, fresh features, “new trapper keepers”.

Part of the plan for season 2 includes LOVELAND giving grants to fund 5 other projects making creative and productive use of land in Detroit: buy inches, fund worthy ventures. Boom. This marks LOVELAND’s turn towards “entertainment fundraising” to make more cool stuff happen by supporting people in the city who are already doing cool stuff. It all. Makes. Sense.

Between now and then LOVELAND’s work is happily cut out for it. We’re installing the Plymouth grid of 10,000 square inches on the property so that everyone’s space is clearly delineated. The solar powered camera attempt for the property is in the works. There are more deed packages to ship. There are more cartoons and graphics and stories to make.

Viva la evolucion. ¡Viva las inchvestoristas!
