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 go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 24 years that we'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 24 years here in a weekly blog post.
This chain link fence separates my apartment building from the public sidewalk to the right. Cars are not supposed to drive on that sidewalk but they do in order to get from our street to the parking lot of the grocery store next door. Well one of the cars driving by ran over the fence and now it's down. It's City property so I doubt it will get fixed anytime soon.
It's a pretty large section of the fence that's now laying down on the sidewalk.
I haven't seen anymore cars trying to drive on this sidewalk though. There was barely enough room before and now with the fence fallen over into the sidewalk, there's no room for a car to drive here unless they drive over the fence. I wouldn't take the chance of that. And for those that are new here, that wall is the sound wall. Directly on the other side of that wall is the freeway and the wall is supposed to keep the noise down from it. The wall is 30-40 feet tall, I'm not sure exactly how tall it is but it's big.

The police showed up last Thursday night but I didn't post it last week since my post was already so picture heavy. The police were at drug dealer's apartment and had everyone there out in handcuffs.
The police were yelling for Jessica to come out. Yes, the same Jessica that I've had on my Sunday post before. But she must have slipped out the bedroom window because they didn't get her.
My daughter took these videos. She and a few other residents were sitting outside watching the whole thing unfold.
My daughter said the police were down there for a long time.
A bunch of cops showed up for this one and had a bunch of people in handcuffs.
People around here refer to that apartment as drug dealer's apartment because it's more than a little obvious that they are dealing drugs out of there. People come all hours of the day and night, stay for a few seconds and leave. And it's mostly tweakers and homeless people that hang out down there. But on this day, no one was arrested. They must not have found any drugs that night which really surprises me. Maybe Jessica took them with her when she escaped out the back bedroom window. Who knows.

In other news the roofer's have finished and they put the gutters back on.
The high this week was 102F/38C
The low this week was 66F/18C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
"Maybe Jessica took them with her when she escaped out the back bedroom window. Who knows."
ReplyDeleteLike in the movies 😂.
The only thing your neighbourhood was missing was a broken fence...that car must have been in an awful hurry LOL. Well, at least they fixed the gutters...
Well now we have the broken fence. Lol 😂
DeleteIt is never, ever dull around there is it?
ReplyDeleteNot really. There always seems to be something going on.
DeleteGlad the gutters are back.
ReplyDeleteHopefully those they took away in cuffs don't come back anytime soon.
Yeah hopefully.
DeleteJessica's on the run... sounds like the name of a song! Amazing they cuffed everyone but didn't charge anyone.
ReplyDeleteI was really surprised that no one was arrested.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteIt's a safe bet that a drunk driver mowed down that section of fence. The heavily damaged fence is an eyesore and a hazard for good folks like you trying to walk their Falcors.
Almost nightly, you and your daughter have a ringside seat as episodes of "Vegas 9-1-1" play out on your block. Is there any chance you are misinterpreting what you see? Maybe it isn't a drug dealer's apartment after all. Maybe the guy is an ordained minister and operating a quickie wedding chapel. :) . That Jessica is a doozy. "She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" and slipped out through the bedroom window. :)
I see your temps have now reached triple digits, bringing added misery to those living on the street.
I wish you, your daughter and my buddy Falcor a safe and happy week, dear friend Mary!
I have no doubt the fence won't be fixed anytime soon.
DeleteA minister? LOL Yeah, giving out the meth and holy crack rock.
It's hot and getting hotter. Thank you.
Wow 102! It got to that in parts of Oklahoma last week. It's so hot everywhere.
ReplyDeleteAnd we haven't even peaked yet. Wait until September when the temps will be 118F.
DeleteDrugs is never an easy issue. Glad that there's programs like DARE to keep kids off drugs.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is good.
DeleteWho needs streets? Sidewalks, trails, paths all work for cars? Wow! So weird!
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to take the short way around to the street or to the store.
DeleteI think you’re right about Jessica sneaking out with the stash.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she probably did.
DeleteOh I think Jessica ran off with the goods too.
ReplyDeleteProbably. lol
DeleteSo much fun by you. The pup looks happy to be on a walk.
ReplyDeletehe's always happy to go for a walk.
DeleteToo bad they didn't find the drugs so they can get the dealer out of there, make things better for other residents. I had to laugh at the idea of Jessica bailing out the window. She's a slippery character. Maybe there's a hidden wall in the unit where Jessica and the drugs are hidden.
ReplyDeleteI was so hoping they were going to find drugs.
DeleteI wonder how much damage was done to the car that hit that fence. And yay...you've got gutters again. :)
ReplyDeleteI wondered that too. Those posts are cemented into the ground. He must have hit it pretty good.
DeleteJessica gave em the slip huh? Well they may still get her. :) At least they made some arrests. And wow someone drove OVER the fencing? Yeeshhh.
ReplyDeleteYeah at least a couple of tweakers are gone for a while. They drove right over the fence.
DeleteMaybe your area could be part of reality T.V
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
That would be interesting.
DeleteSure is exciting around there!
ReplyDeleteEvery week it's something new.
DeleteCrazy times as always
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteThey seemed to have plowed right through the fence. I am sure the cops need to come in force when they go to that apartment. No telling what they will run into.
ReplyDeleteOh no doubt.
DeleteWho drives over a fence? Geesh!
ReplyDeleteProbably a drunk driver.
DeleteThe chain link fence doesn't look very sturdy in the first place. I guess it wouldn't take much to pull it down.
ReplyDeleteit was very sturdy. It's been up for over 12 years and never had a problem until now. The posts were cemented into the ground and help the fence up. Some car took out several of the posts.
DeleteWhat a mess! Why would someone drive on a sidewalk. It is a shame that the police can't do more.
ReplyDeleteCars drove through this alley because it's a short cut to get from the street to the parking lot of the grocery store without having to go all the way around the block.
DeleteGlad the roofers finished - hopefully everything will stay put now.
ReplyDeleteI guess the fence being down has one advantage - no more cars? But UGH! That's awful.
Yeah, the fence still hasn't been fixed either.
DeleteWell, at least you have gutters again lol.
ReplyDeletelol Yes, there is that.
DeleteGood grief. 😐
ReplyDeleteI know.
