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 25 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 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
My picture isn't great because my phone camera sucks but that is a Marshall's car in front and the van that takes the homeless people to the shelters behind it. There was a guy making a camp to the right of the van near a big rock that you can't see. I am guessing they asked him if he wanted to go to the shelter and he said no. I walked by him at one point while he was there and he had a big cast iron pot that he had a small fire pit in and a metal grate on top and was cooking some steaks on it for him and another guy that was sitting there.

Monday night about 9PM I was outside with Falcor and I ran into one of the people that go down to drug dealers apartment. She looked freaked out so I asked her if she was okay and she said she was by drug dealers car and some guy in a hoodie came up real close to her pulled up his his shirt and showed her the gun he had in his waistband and then he walked off without saying a word. And she had been standing there for a few minutes just freaked out so I asked her if she wanted me to walk her back over to drug dealers apartment since we both live in the same building and she said yeah because she was scared. She looked it too, she looked like she was scared and freaked out.

Oh and drug dealer is not getting evicted. My neighbor who talks to his wife said management accepted their rent and they aren't getting evicted. They owed some back rent and money for replacing the back window that they didn't want to pay. So management would only accept their rent if they paid everything in full which they did. So they are staying here.
The high this week was 57F/13C
The low this week was 38F/3C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
I find myself a bit sad that the drug dealer and his wife are staying on. I don't think they add anything positive to the complex.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about that.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, dear friend! Well, at least it wasn't an explosive week in your neighborhood this time. With the overnight temp in Vegas now plunging into the 30s, It amazes me how most of the homeless decline to hop in the van and go to a warm shelter. I know you are going to tell me it's because they aren't allowed to do drugs there. It's sad that chronic drug use is an integral part of their daily lives.
Hooray... the drug dealer is staying on your block! At least I hope he has given up on the notion of making your daughter his future bride. Clearly, management doesn't care that drug money was used to pay his back rent and replace the window. You were brave and conscientious to escort the freaked-out woman back to the relative safety and security of the drug dealer's pad. Did I just write that?
I hope my buddy Falcor is feeling AOK these days. Have a wonderful week ahead, dear friend Mary!
It does sound crazy, doesn't it? I felt bad for her. He's been staying away from my daughter since I told him to.
DeleteSo close to getting him kicked out!
ReplyDeleteWill be offline for most of the month so want to wish you a Merry Christmas now.
Thank you. Merry Christmas to you too.
DeleteEven drug addicts get scared. Ugh, what a disappointment about the dealer staying.
ReplyDeleteYes they do. I felt bad for her.
DeleteYou're too kind. I don't think I would have felt like helping the drug dealer's customer...
ReplyDeleteI've talked to her before and she's always been nice to me. I felt bad for her.
DeleteI'd be scared too if a guy showed me the gun in his waistband. Disappointing that the drug dealer wasn't evicted after all.
ReplyDeleteIt is disappointing but not surprising.
DeleteMary, my comment must have gone to spam. Please check. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI found it. There were a few in the spam file this morning.
DeleteIt's too bad the drug dealer is staying. I'd be scared to if someone showed me they were carrying a gun. The world is going crazy.
ReplyDeleteSure seems like it's going crazy.
DeleteThat was nice of you to help her. I hope she stays safe. Sorry to hear the Drug Dealer isn't leaving. :-( Things are quiet here.
ReplyDeleteI felt bad for her. I'm surprised she didn't call drug dealer to come walk her home.
Delete' not getting evicted'? - oh that's not good. The owners think only of the money; nothing else interests them.
ReplyDeleteThat's it exactly.
DeleteThat's too bad about drug dealer. Was hoping you'd be free of that guy soon. And wow cooking some steaks over the firepit huh lol
ReplyDeleteI was hoping so too. Yeah, he and his friend were having themselves a cookout.
DeleteToo bad that lady was so scared but I suppose it comes with the turf. Too bad the druggie is staying.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's kinda crazy around here.
DeleteIt's a shame the drug dealer is staying.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I wish he wasn't.
DeleteYou are surrounded by interesting folks, Mary. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI will try.
DeleteIt's nice of you to walk with the woman who goes to the drug dealer's home. I can imagine who she was freaked out. It's nice there's a van to transport homeless people to shelters.
ReplyDeleteI just wish some of the homeless people would take advantage of the van to the homeless shelter.
DeleteAround here there plenty of people cares side arm (gun) on there hips. But it still nerving.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
This is an open carry state so many people walk around with guns on their hips but they shouldn't be doing what he did.
DeleteGuess even the homeless like picnicing.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Yeah. Lol
DeleteLooks like Drug Dealer is going to be a permanent fixture around there. So sorry, and one would think having a gun shown while outside drug dealer's door would cure her of going to his door. With or without an escort.
ReplyDeleteShe was out on the street by his car door not his apartment. I don't know what was going on with that.
DeleteSigh, those people
ReplyDeleteI would be freaked if some guy showed a gun to me too. I guess it's lucky he didn't do anything with it. Disappointing the drug dealer isn't getting evicted after all.
ReplyDeleteGlad all he did was show the gun to her.
DeleteI am glad you were able to walk with the woman--I would have been scared too. It's too bad the drug dealer isn't leaving.
ReplyDeleteI love that the two homeless men were cooking steak. They ate well that day.
I wish he was leaving but we'll just have to deal with him for a while.
DeleteMan, it sucks that the drug dealer gets to stay. Ack!
ReplyDeleteIt really does.
