Yes, Glenmont it was. Lease problems.... oh the memories. I was raised very well: hold doors, be polite, say please and thank you, hold the door, smile, assume the best, etc... moving down to the DC metro has put a huge cloud over all that. We were friendly with one other couple in the building: Ty and Jen. Ty and Jen were awesome... both cops! One white, one black... both friendly as could be. I started out being nice to everyone but how many nights of Mexican Dance music blaring on DJ speakers in a 1 bedroom apartment can other tenants take? How many times do unsupervised kids have to run into my car and ding it up? How many times do they loiter in front of the building so friends and family did not feel comfortable stopping by? It only became "fortress Tangorre" after we tried and failed to live comfortably. That place left me with a real glimpse into how most people around here live.... which is why everything costs a fortune, to try and keep out the all the crap mentioned before.... which is why the DC Metro area is so separated less by race and more by income level... poor wheaton, rich bethesda, rockville spans all the income ranges, silver spring as well... you get the point. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get Instant Hacker Protection, Virus Detection, Antispam & Personal Firewall. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=62 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:145026 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
