FIRST I MUST SAY THAT FOR SUCH A DIVERSE COMMUNITY, I AM IMPRESSED WITH HOW WELL THE RESIDENTS GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER, WHICH IS PARTLY WHY I AM STILL HERE. NOW, AS FAR AS THE PROBLEMS GO.....WELL, PARKING IS NEVER ENOUGH (MAYBE IF MANAGEMENT COMPLIED WITH THE OCCUPANCY CODES, THINGS WOULD BE BETTER, COME ON--3 AND 4 CARS PER HOUSEHOLD). NEXT, THE LAUNDRY FACILITIES ARE PRETTY CLEAN (MACHINES NEED TO BE MONITORED BETTER BECAUSE TOO MUCH MONEY IS LOST TOO OFTEN). MAINTENANCE, FOR THE MOST PART IS VERY GOOD (THE GUYS ARE FRIENDLY AND COURTEOUS). SAFETY...WELL, YOU HAVE REALLY GOT TO "WATCH YOUR STEP" (FIGHTING BETWEEN THE DRUNKS, ROAMING GANG MEMBERS, AND OF COURSE THE DRUG DEALERS AND BUYERS). NOISE CAN BE A PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY ON THE WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS (YES, WE ALL NEED TO UNWIND...BUT NOT EVERYONE UNWINDS TO THE SAME "BEAT"). I MUST SAY THAT THE GROUND FOR THE MOST PART ARE QUITE NICE AND WELL MAINTAINED (EXCEPT FOR THE BEER BOTTLE(S), CANDY WRAPPERS, AND USED AND UNUSED CONDOMS). ALSO, THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE AREAS AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE MANY, MANY, MANY CHILDREN THAT LIVE HERE. AS FOR PETS, DON'T KNOW THE POLICY, BUT IT SEEMS WE ALL HAVE THE SAME TASTE (ROACHES, MICE, AND "CHINCHES"). AS FAR AS THE OFFICE STAFF GOES...WELL, YOU BETTER CALL THEM ON A GOOD DAY OR YOU WILL GET OFFENDED. I CAN RECALL ONE TIME WHEN I SAW "DEE" FROM THE OFFICE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WANTED TO APPROACH HER WITH A GENERAL QUESTION. UNFORTUNATELY, I CHANGED MY MIND WHEN I SAW HER RUBBING THE GROIN OF ONE OF THE MAINTENANCE MEN..UUGH!! THE APARTMENTS THEMSELVES ARE PRETTY STRONG PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THEIR AGE. OVERALL, THESE APARTMENTS DO NOT RATE AS WELL AS OTHERS IN THIS CITY. THE REPUTATION IS THAT IT IS EASY TO GET IN AND THAT MANAGEMENT DOESN'T CARE HOW MANY LIVE IN THE APARTMENTS JUST AS LONG AS HE GETS HIS RENT. WHY AM I STILL HERE YOU ASK' AS SOON AS I COMPLETE MY DEGREE THIS SPRING.....ADIOS !!!!!!!

"RUBBING THE GROIN OF ONE OF THE MAINTENANCE MEN..UUGH!! " LOL! That is funny dude. I lived at good ol' Northwest Park from 2002-2006. I never heard of "chinches",though. What are those?
