The calm before the storm

Well if you do move in here, things you liked will have outweighed those that you didn't. But remember, at first glance everything is hunky dory cuz you haven't had time to experience anything bad yet. Good appliances in your apartment, the rooftop pool, the card and coin operated laundry, decent parking in the summer, stores and restaurants nearby are all lovely sounding before you move in.... But after awhile, things change. Amenities may malfunction in your apartment and you may find yourself stranded for weeks before maintenance comes; someone may steal your clothes out of the laundry; the pool closes for the winter; lots of students with their cars come in the fall, so parking is hell if you don't buy a reserved spot; and at night the stores and restaurants close so you find it difficult to go outside with the many shady homeless people and whatnot loitering just outside the front.
But hey, you get used to things. I'm alright here. I've gotten used to the stench just outside the lobby to the parking garage. I've even smoked cigarettes with the bums. i still love my view of the downtown skyline and the lake. i don't have roaches. but i'm on the sixteenth floor, maybe they find no reason to come up this high. or maybe my cat eats them all, i dont know. Can't beat the price with heat and utilities included though! Every place has its ups and downs, and no one said any living situation in life would be perfect, which i'm sure you've figured out by now.
As far as the person who posted on here who has lived here for 20 years, and didn't recommend living here...that's just effin weird to me. i'd consider his/her comments truthful, but the recommendation hypocritical and null.
