FUNHOUSE
Yesterday was pretty much a bust as far as apartment hunting goes. The first place we looked at wasn’t much better than what we already have. At the second place we looked at a bunch of new condos. Each layout was more bizarre than the last. One room literally had a hallway that lead to nothing that was about a foot wide and about 6 feet long. When we asked the leasing agent what the purpose of the space was she dryly responded, “I don’t know. Maybe it’s a bowling alley.” Ummmm….okay.
Each unit we looked at was stranger than the last, until the last unit. This one was actually laid out fairly well and was pretty nice, but it had the oddest feeling of all of them. It had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, stainless steel appliances, washer/dryer in unit. On paper it sounds great, but there was definitely something off. There was sun pouring in the windows, but I felt like I was in a dark basement. It was pretty big, but felt suffocating. I think someone died in that room. I’m only half kidding. I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
The whole place kind of reminded me of the hotel in The Shining. The hallways were really wide and were built sort of like a maze or a funhouse. I know that the place used to be a hotel. I seriously think the entire place is haunted or built over an Indian burial ground or something. Seriously creepy.
