If you've tried to visit my town but found that it's closed, I've been setting up an area south of the gate. It's filled with items. Some items are ordinary junk, some rare furniture, ad one every day will be a bag of Bells- up to 15,000! Watch out for the pitfalls, though.
Oh, my town is also open.
EDIT: If you visit and the connection goes down, please tell me either by PM or posting here.
