Apartment Life #350

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.

Every time I take Falcor out I've been seeing a lot of homeless people go down into the tunnels via the manholes. This is the one that one homeless man fell down and broke his leg a few weeks ago. The cover is always off because they take it off so they can go down there. 

A little ways away from the first one is this one. It's also uncovered. 

This is another entry point into the tunnels. It's just past my apartment complex. 

The homeless people removed the steel grate that had been covering it and now it's missing so this huge hole is just open all the time now. 

Now if you want to see what some of the larger tunnels/washes look like you can see those pictures in this post. My grandson and his father took a walk into the tunnels and few years ago (Like a lot of people do) and took some pictures. My late husband and daughter went exploring the tunnels years ago too. 

All of the entry points into the tunnels that I took pictures of are along the left side of this sidewalk in the rocks. I tell you, if someone wanted to hide from the police or anyone else, all they would have to do is hide in the Las Vegas tunnels. They go on for miles and entry points for them are all over this city.

If you want to read an article about the tunnels this one was very informative.

I saw another Pods get delivered last week. I thought for sure it was going to sit there for a year like the last one. But the truck in front of it that delivered it sat there for a few hours while the people unpacked the Pods and then I saw how the truck that has a built in fork like picked up the Pods and was able to put it back on the truck and take it away. It was kinda cool to see how they are delivered and picked up.

It was quiet for the most part but on New Year's Eve night a truck hot 2 parked cars on my street and fled the scene. 

The high this week was 61F/16C
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.
