Apartment Life #355

 

This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell  Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 26 years here in a weekly blog post. 

I had gone outside when I saw a neighbors dog running around in the street on my bedroom camera. I saw her down by the office and went down to make sure she knew her dog almost got hit by a car. She didn't care. She was on the phone with 911 giving them her details and I heard her say she had been assaulted. She didn't look hurt so I don't know what happened to her, could have been a different kind of assault. She wasn't gone long and is already back.

At the same time there was a guy sitting in the rocks staring at the rocks saying, "They're moving. The rocks, they keep moving." Dude was trippin balls! He was cracked out of his mind. All of the people, including the woman on the phone are known drug users and hang round with the homeless people. 

I kept a look out on my camera because I knew the police were coming. The police showed up and so did the ambulance. The neighbor went to the hospital. I don't know exactly what happened to her other than she said she was assaulted.  Could have been a fight, domestic, or something else. I have no idea. 

I went outside and got a picture of the police cars lined up after the ambulance left. There were 3 police cars and a car from the security company that patrols here.

I had a run in with this lady and her two dogs earlier this week. She has her pitbull on a leash but the Australian Shepherd puppy that is pretty big already she lets run offleash and he ran up to me and Falcor. I picked Falcor up and told her she should have the dog on a leash. She said he's friendly. I said, you know mine is not to big dogs. Plus if your dog pounces on my little dog he could hurt my dog. She just ignored me and walked by. Oh she made me mad. So if I see her out now with the dogs who one is still offleash all the time, I just cross the street to keep away from them.

My daughter was talking with one of the homeless ladies and she told her a few things. Apparently 2 homeless men have overdosed on fentanyl in the past month and died. One was found a couple of blocks away under the freeway underpass. The other man, Eric is someone that I knew from my neighborhood and he was found a couple of blocks away by the Fire Station. That's just sad. 

Antwon who I've talked about before, here, and here. He got mugged and the thief took his drugs. So Antwon tracked the guy down, shot him in the leg twice and was arrested for attempted murder. He's in jail on attempted murder charges. I don't think he'll be back for a while. 

Oh and long time readers might remember Jessica of The Jessica and Mikey Saga. If not, I wrote about them here, and here. Well, Jessica is now the Mayor of Tunnel Town. That's what I'm calling the tunnels around here from now on because all of the homeless people have been going down there and you don't see them on the streets all that much. I see them coming and going from the manholes all the time though. The homeless lady my daughter was talking to said that if someone needs something they ask The Mayor for help. I was shocked when she said the Mayor was Jessica. Guess she's moving up in Tunnel Town.

My daughter decorated the window for Valentines Day. 

And the little Valentine's Day tree is up.

The Neighbor in my courtyard who's dog tried to attack Falcor a couple of weeks ago got evicted. A couple of neighbors including myself called and wrote to the rental office and informed them that the lady who used to live in that apartment had passed away a couple of months ago and her family was living in the apartment. They had a bunch of drug users coming and going from the apartment and the dog was offleash all the time. So I guess they investigated and found that those people were not on the lease and they evicted them on Thursday. 

I saw them put their cat in a carrier but they left the dog in the apartment when the constable made them leave and changed the locks. So the manager called animal control to get the dog. I watched at least 9 people come out of the apartment when the constable made them all leave. There was one lady in the alley with a grocery cart full of junk that came out and stood by her cart, swaying back and forth, mumbling to herself as she stared off into space. A bunch of the people were acting weird as they stood around waiting to get into one of their cars. Pretty sure they were all high as heck. Animal Protection Services left a notice on their door if they ever come back fir their stuff they might be able to get their dog back too. I doubt they're coming back though...

The high this week was 75F/23C

The low this week was 39F/3C

So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell  Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
