Out of curiosity, what kind of improvements did you do to the place? Other than bolting knife racks to kitchen walls I don't think it's ever occured to me to make improvements to a rental place.

I hope for good news next week after your appointment on Saturday!

Oh now that sucks! One thing you can do is curse the place right as your leaving. "Where I spit no grass grows ever"

Fingers crossed on the place near NA and E. Now get packing, moving on up to bigger and better, that's the ticket!

You're close. Paper towel holder and under counter lighting in the kitchen; towel bars in the master bath (there were none when we moved in); and lighting and other decorative improvements on the patio. All stuff we're going to take down and take with us. We also did a lot of work cleaning up the area around the backyard pond - it was rather overgrown when we got there.

You have to be a little careful when talking about the 'hood' and 'doing a drive by' when referring to the LBC.

So sorry JWB. Nothing sucks more than having to move when you're not planning on it. I've had to do it twice when the apartments I lived in flipped to condos. And it's not easy to find something you like and are happy with in a short timeframe. Good luck!

Why? We actually have racial diversity here.

And what does the C stand for in LBC?

Sorry to hear about this, JW. I hope your next place is much better and hassle-free.

A little over a year ago, we had to move with 2 weeks notice and I don't think I've ever been as stressed. I feel for you.

As in Long Beach City College? I don't get it. We don't call it LBC or Long Beach City. But, The OC didn't really capture life in Orange County either.
