It sure was nice to live right on the lake.

The apartment we rented for a year was overpriced and very small. The bedroom had enough room for a queen size bed and narrow alleys around it. The living/ dining/ kitchen/ entry/ laundry room was kind of cramped. It did have a bathroom and I recall that the hot water was lacking a couple of times. The in apartment laundry was small, stacked, and very convenient. Parking sucked if you did not have a space in the garage. Management was mostly non existant. security was not very good. Some thuggish looking guys were having a major smokeout in the garage. When I told security they responded that they knew and they were friends. O.K.

But it sure was nice to live right on the lake.
