Hey Ever’body

April 13, 2016. I wrote a post about struggling to find an apartment in Chicago.

April 15, 2016. I wrote a post about finding an apartment through my college friend’s Oklahoma friend’s church camp friend, who posted this to Facebook and was promptly directed to me:

Hey Ever’body, The apartment upstairs is opening at the end of June. It’s a three bedroom with an enclosed porch and a garage. It is also in the Waters School district for any of you with kids. And just a block from the Rockwell Brown Line stop. Oh, and pets welcome (encouraged as far as ___________, The Boy, and I are concerned. If you’re interested, message me or ________________, and we’ll give you further details.

The author of that post (and his family) has been my neighbor for over three years now. We watched one another’s pets, texted back and forth about washing machine availability, and spent accumulated hours walking to and from school together. You couldn’t ask for better neighbors.

On Monday he and his family moved out, having bought a condo a block away. Good for them, sad for me.

So I’m here to announce:

Hey Ever’body, The apartment downstairs is opening at the end of December. It’s a three bedroom with an enclosed porch and a garage. It is also in the Waters School district for any of you with kids. And just a block from the Rockwell Brown Line stop. Oh, and pets welcome (encouraged as far as Meredith, The Girl, and I are concerned.) If you’re interested, message me and I’ll give you further details.
