What part? Ok, we have to chat soon!<br /><br />@Amy - I did recruiting for a non-profit summer camp for inner city kids. We had government funding for kids from failing schools, so I spent a lot of time at those schools, meeting with administrators and teachers, talking to students and meeting with parents. As you might guess, some of the worst schools in NYC are in the some of the worst neighborhoods.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559694915673726044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424498722888936617.post-34075841471763433252010-11-06T04:29:53.279-07:002010-11-06T04:29:53.279-07:00oh man! theriot avenue will always hold a special ...oh man! theriot avenue will always hold a special place in our hearts.<br />remember when we used to play cards on sunday nights? you will never believe this but we are actually moving BACK to the bronx! long story but we've had some landlord issues and the perfect place opened up!<br /><br />i am loving your nablopomo!! and now DYING to know the product you work with at work. so intriguing!! glad u ended up in phoenix. my whole fam is there so hopefully we can reunite sometime soon!!Austynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685129867159140359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424498722888936617.post-26746999497150650082010-11-05T21:42:00.220-07:002010-11-05T21:42:00.220-07:00I got pretty lucky as far as most of my apartments...I got pretty lucky as far as most of my apartments have gone. However, I did live in an apartment my brother dubbed the "double-tall" instead of double wide. It looked like two trailers stacked on top of each other, seriously. I ended up leaving as soon as my lease was out to live in a granny cottage of a house that was being renovated by a friend to be flipped. That was a cool place, but there was a weird vent that went straight out under my house to the grass. I always worried some weird creep would end up in my family room through the vent. Oh and the door didn't ever really lock, you could just shoulder it open, always good for a single woman living alone! <br /><br />Your NYC apartment looks awesome. What was your job in New York that had you going to all these dangerous neighborhoods?Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756488774000631366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5424498722888936617.post-29749054112788883162010-11-05T21:26:00.438-07:002010-11-05T21:26:00.438-07:00Oooh, your first few apartments sound like what we...Oooh, your first few apartments sound like what we went through in Egypt. We ended up taking the one with the crappy kitchen, but it was only for the summer. I love what you eventually ended up with!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.com
