These are some places I've been.

[|Toby's Blues Joint]:
This place is pretty nice for listening to good music. I've visited a lot of different places to listen to music in SL (which you can read about below), but this is really the only place that I would recommend for listening to decent music. Usually the people here are pretty friendly, and are pretty willing to talk to you about stuff.

[|Sanctuary Rock]:
This is the Sanctuary Rock Club. It's a pretty crazy place. People are always dressed interestingly, and they dance like they are insane. Unfortunately, the music is kind of lame. As I said, the dancing is pretty crazy. That's mostly because this club doesn't have the typical dots which allow you to dance; instead, wheels which are clicked on animate avatars. You should check it out.

[|Frank's Jazz Club]:
This is a Jazz Club. It's a formal place, and you have to be wearing formal clothing in order to get inside (You can get a free tux at Freebie Island). Its a no fly zone (which is lame) and it takes forever to render (some of the people in this shot are still gray and I'd been in there for 10 minutes). Plus the music sucks. It's not really jazz, its more like elevator music. So...check it out if you want to. However, I wouldn't do so unless you are in the library--it might cause your computer to crash. You don't really need to listen to the music. Trust me.

[|Overdose Haven]:
This place was kind of weird. I don't really know why it exists. It looked kind of like a drug house, with run down furniture and graffiti everywhere. People were doing some weird dances, and talking with slurred speech. Weird. You could buy joints for L$2. I did so.

[|Simon Says Game]:
I found this pretty cool Simon Says thing. It's kind of fun, you should check it out. I only played it a few times, and only got up to 18 correct. So it may do something cool if you play it for a long time. I dunno. I suggest you check it out.

Rockcliffe University Second Life Campus: [Notice: The images within this image are copyrighted] This was kind of an odd experience. I ran into this place and started talking to a professor. She told me that this place was an exclusively SL University. Although they only teach SL classes right now, she said they were going to start offering academic classes soon. I asked her if they were accredited, and she said that they were working on it. I definitely didn't get a slurl either. Sorry about that.

GOP Headquarters(?):
Okay, so I went to some crazy liberal place, where I received a note card with political places of note. One place caught my eye. It was the "Shrine to Ronald Reagan." So I checked it out. Turns out, it was just a place where your avatar could say a prayer for members of the military and for veterans. I dunno about you, but I think praying should probably be relegated to RL. Anyways, this prayer joint was right next door to what I think is the national GOP headquarters (in SL). Anyways, I infiltrated. I have [|a history of that]. I voted for Alan Keyes in their straw poll, and then visited some random places. They had a hall where you could see portraits of all past presidents, and it was also completely deserted. I'll get the slurl later.

[|Baller's City]:
Since we are in Kentucky, and basketball is more or less king here, I thought this would be an appropriate link. This is an interesting place which is all about basketball. The ad in the picture pretty much tells the whole story, but let me tell you, there is nothing like playing basketball in SL. It's an interesting experience. To say the least. Swish.

[|The Bushy Beard Pub]:
Another stop in my unending quest to find good music in Second Life. This attempt was not unsuccessful: the music was actually pretty good, and they even had some live stuff going on. It's a little hard to figure out the mechanics of how to continue listening to music when the DJ changes, and also, the place to forever to res. So, it's worth checking out, but not without it's down points.
