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.
There were several police in the Cal Ranch parking lot right behind the alley for my apartment building on Tuesday evening. You can't see the police cars very well but you can see the lights from their cars.
You can see the lights from the police car plus you can see how when I saw Cal Ranch and Marianas Mexican Market is right next door I mean they are right next door, just on the other side of the alley to my apartment complex. Hey, at least there's the backdrop of mountains you can see. lol
I enlarged the last picture so you can see the police cars a little better. I'm not sure what happened but I'm thinking Cal Ranch was robbed since there were at least 5 police cars out there and the police helicopter was flying over head.
You remember those flags that were installed last week? Well someone already broke one over the weekend. They came out and fixed it the next day but it's just a matter of time before something else happens to them.
I saw the ambulance had shown up and went to my elderly neighbors apartment. She had been complaining about her back hurting the day before, even came and got an ice pack from me. She hasn't been home for the past few days so I think she went to the hospital. Hopefully she isn't hurt too bad.
My brother was here on Friday and he and my daughter saw the police searching this truck when they were outside. I don't know if the police found anything.
The high this week was 98F/36C
The low this week was 72F/22C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
There is always something going on - and the police are there so often they should set up a base there.
ReplyDeleteThat's not the first time someone has said that. Lol
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteA mixed bag of criminal activity, emergencies and mysteries in your neighborhood this week, dear friend. I didn't realize that busy plaza was so close to you. I hope you or your daughter can find out what the commotion was about, whether there was indeed a robbery over there, and report back to us. I also hope you can give us an update on your elderly neighbor with a bad back. Yessum, those bright red flags will continue to be easy targets for vandals, becoming more trouble than they're worth, I predict. Unfortunately, your brother got a taste of what life is like for you and your daughter in that section of town. I assume the drug dealer is still among your neighbors. Like COVID-19, he is hard to get rid of. Perhaps he is still living there because he has become an indispensable member of the community's Welcome Wagon committee.
Vegas will soon be experiencing triple digit heat on a regular basis, adding to the misery. I'm thinking about you.
P.S. - I updated your status to "Early Bird" at Shady's Place since you were first to arrive and leave a comment yesterday. Thank you and have a safe and happy week, dear friend Mary!
The plaza is very close to is. Hopefully this week will be a lot quieter.
DeleteA rather mild week for you. Hope your neighbor is all right.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteAll the best to your elderly neighbour
ReplyDeleteI will update next week.
DeleteHave the flags been worth the trouble? Have apartment hunters been lured in, are now clamoring to put in an application? LOL.
ReplyDeleteNo, no and...no. Lol
DeleteWhew. Busy week for you!
ReplyDeleteYeah there was a lot going on around here.
DeleteAlways so much going on there. And it's not surprising that one of those flags already got broken. Hope this week is a good one for you.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm not surprised either.
DeleteWow and that's just one week. You could write a novel with all your material, I'm sure. First time visiting. Here's my SP: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2023/05/21/sunday-post-one-book-at-a-time/
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting. One of these days maybe I will write a book about all this.
DeleteIt's like one of the crime shows on tv...lol
ReplyDeleteThey could do a show here.
DeleteOh, I hope your neighbor is Ok!
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteIt doesn't surprise me that the flagpole was broken. It looks very thin and easy to pull down. What a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't surprise me either.
DeleteI hope your neighbor is doing ok.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteWell at least they fix the flags *sarcasm*! I hope yoiur neighbor's okay!!
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah they fixed that.
DeleteThe police are being kept busy! Hey, the view of the mountains is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI don't believe our local police or sheriff department has a helicopter.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
I think ours has several.
DeleteNice view of the mountains with the police activity. Those flags! *eye roll* Hope you enjoy your visit with your brother.
ReplyDeleteI am. Thank you.
DeleteGood thing your brother visited. Sad thing your elderly neighbor is in hospital. Hopefully, your upcoming week will be a quiet, uneventful one.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too.
DeleteAt least there weren't any gun shots. 😯
ReplyDeleteI hope your neighbor recovers soon. 🤒
I hope you had a wonderful start to your week. ☀
Thank you. No gunshots is always good.
DeleteOH! I hope your neighbor is okay! Quiet week from the Drug Dealer?
ReplyDeleteI had a busy weekend and I can't believe it's already Wednesday. I am looking forward to a three day weekend to get some work done in the yard and catch up on sleep.
Drug dealer has been quiet.
DeleteOf course the flag is already broken. It seems like you just can't have nice things there.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with your neighbor. Please update if you can!
We really can't have nice things here. I will update.
DeleteAnother busy week. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAlways
DeleteI didn't think the flags would go undamaged as long as they did. I hope your neighbor is okay. Has she returned home yet?
ReplyDeleteMe either. Yeah she's home. She was having nerve pain in her back. They gave her some muscle relaxers.
