Apartment Life #363

 
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 26 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.  


Falcor stared down a new dog in the neighborhood. They stared at each other while us humans laughed. Later that day he met the dog and they got along fine. The other dog is a little black and white Chihuahua. Another old man like Falcor. 

The police were back across the street for that same apartment upstairs as last week. I don't know what's happening since no one was arrested. The police didn't even stay that long. 

A little while later the Fire Department ambulance showed up down the street and took an elderly man to the ER. Hopefully he's better from whatever sent him to the hospital soon. 

This is our apartment security. Early in the morning they showed up because there were a bunch of homeless people camped out in front of the office. There's an electrical outlet right next to the office door that people use to charge their phones. So there's people sleeping there at night quite often.

On Wednesday the apartment manager was knocking on everyone's door telling us all that they were having inspections from the owner and we all had to put our chairs and tables inside. Anyone who didn't answer their door right then she had the maintenance guy wheeling a big trash can around with him put anything sitting outside into the trash. I watched as the guy across from me had his bbq thrown in the trash. Others had their folding chairs tossed in the trash. The manager told me it was just for today and she's hoping that if nothing is out that the owner won't tell her to put out notices saying we aren't allowed to have anything outside our doors. Technically we aren't allowed to have bbq's here at all, it's in the lease agreement. 

The owner hasn't been around since he bought this place 7 years ago so this doesn't happen often.

One of the homeless ladies living with Johnathan (BB Gun dude) came outside in her underwear and took their bbq and chair inside his apartment. I am hoping we don't have a problem with her trying to stay there when he moves out on the 20th. I might have to call the office and let them know. They have been having loud parties almost every night.

I went outside when I heard the police helicopter up flying around my street and spotted this police car parked near the alley. There were other police cars driving up and down my street and some police officers running up and down the street on the sidewalk. They were looking for someone but they all took off really fast so I think whoever it was went somewhere else while they were looking here. They all left fast so I have no idea if they found who they were looking for. 

 
The high this week was 76F/24C
The low this week was 51F/10C

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