Hell, I lived in one of the nicer ones and we had a shooting in our parking deck on my floor...while we were eating dinner. We heard cars sqealing and people screaming, next thing we knew there were cops everywhere and the news showed up.
Yeah, when the news shows up, it's usually a Bad sign.
I lived in The Cliffs apartments, which were bulldozed and replaced with a new apartment complex within a year after we bailed. For years The Cliffs were pretty decent. During the Baltic Troubles the complex was used as a 'refugee-friendly' relocation spot for Eastern European families fleeing the war, and for a time it was really neet: you could hear 6 different languages being spoken at the pool. Pretty cool people, too.
Later, many of the families moved out (or back to Europe), the clientele went downhill, and the crime went up.
What apartments were you in, Amanda?
I swear, I lived off that access road for so long -- about a decade in the old duplex on Peachwood Cir and another decade at The Cliffs -- that I could have driven home on the access road blindfolded. You get used to that "access road culture," which means you always have to go one-way in a direction you don't want to go, at least for a half-mile or so.
