Tell a Neighbor.

Tell your neighbors about this blog. 
Contrary to an occasional post by what appears to be the rental office, this blog is for you. It's for you to air your thoughts, grievances, pleasure, elation, or just to spread news about the area.  

It's tough to find interesting tidbits to post on a daily basis, but with your help we can post your thoughts in a common forum where tenants can speak with each other about the good, the bad and the ugly in our buildings and in our neighborhood. 

And I like good news too. I would also like to hear about new businesses opening up in the area, or perhaps your favorite stores, bars or restaurants. Hey, post a short review of a place if you'd like. I'm sure those new to the building or the area would love to hear your recommendations. I will post a header for reviews where you can post in the comment area. If there is an interest I'll leave it on the site permanently for people to access.

This blog is a pretty new forum, and the traffic isn't as heavy as I would like, but it is a potentially valuable asset for all of us, so let's use it and be in touch with one another. Remember, you always have the option of posting anonymously and unless you post something obscene, hateful, ignorant, or spurious, (stupid isn't good either, but doesn't necessarily preclude the comment) your comments will always be posted. Also, if you are a member of the rental office your spam won't get posted like it is on the apartmentratings.com site. Bogus posts by the rental office have the ratings boosted up to a whopping 58%.  A pitiful number considering their efforts to counteract the negative comments.

  1. I posted on the apartment ratings site. I did not pull any punches and recommended people stay away until the community improves. Encourage others to post their reviews of our dorm...errr...apartment.
