| | FOR RENT.
The sign posted in the front yard seeks a new tenant to replace the one below me. Come the end of the year, downstairs guy is moving.
This is of great concern to me.
My apartment building is old. Old enough that the buzzer for the front entrance is accompanied by a button that at one point rang directly into the superintendent’s apartment.
And old enough that if a neighbor is too noisy, I can hear it through the wall.
Or, as the case may be, through the floor.
Fortunately, downstairs guy has been very quiet. Other than the fact that his car is still emblazoned with a George W. Bush bumper sticker, he’s an ideal neighbor.
So unless I’m missing something, there’s nowhere to go but down. Whoever moves in can’t be better than downstairs guy, only on par with him.
Yes, perhaps a beautiful girl will move in. But as far as I’m concerned, I’d much prefer the new neighbor be easy on the ears than easy on the eyes.
Really, though, it’s all beyond my control. All I can do is wait and see.
And maybe start saving for a down payment on a house.
But that’s a whole ‘nother blog.
