Atlantic Avenue.
St. James Place.
Park Place.
I'm stuck inside a huge game of Monopoly.
Been out driving like mad the past two days trying to find a new home. Seen quite a few places, quite a few faces! Driving here is quite a bit different from driving anywhere else. It's packed streets at almost all times (9-10am isn't too bad, but certainly a worthy warm-up), more aggressive and high-paced than some professional sports. Try doing all this with no knowledge of the roads, either! My general approach has been to shoot for a direction and just pray I hit a cross street I recognize. Other than an incident in northern Brooklyn today that got me a bit tangled up, we've made it to our destinations with pretty solid results. Except for the apartment acceptance thing.
By the numbers, and this is just a best guess at this point, we've logged the following:
10 apartments we've entered and walked around,
3 neighborhoods we're seriously considering,
2 apartments that we've actually carefully considered,
1 apartment we had to turn down due to poor location from a station,
1 appointment we stood up due to bad timing (and hopefully this is not a bridge we burned, since the guy has quite a few in the area),
and 1 more night in the hotel.
It's crunch time, and we're starting to feel it. Here's to a good search tomorrow!
