It's no secret my apartment complex is marginal at best. I've lived there three years. I like it. My apartment is cute with its fireplace and hardwood floors. Sure, there's some shady activities going on. Sure, someone tried to steal my ex's car when it was parked there. Sure, I've seen the cops around a time or two, but no one's ever bothered me.
However, just in case anyone was unclear about whether I live in the hood or not, I present the latest object that has showed up on the sidewalk outside my apartment:
Why yes, that is a wood-paneled big-screen TV. It's been sitting there for the past two days. This morning, when I passed it for the 10th time, I just had to stop and take a picture of it. I don't know if my complex is ghetto because there's a big screen TV on the sidewalk or if it's not ghetto because no one's stolen it yet. Maybe even the thugs I live near don't want this. Me, I just want to know if it works. And I have considered pushing it into my apartment. Maybe I need to call the office and notify them that, um, there's a big screen TV taking up a massive amount of walkway space.
