Moving day at GasLight Square Apartments
Today’s the day the residents of the Gaslight Square Apartments, by no fault of their own, were encouraged to leave. I was driving past and curiosity got the best of me, so I thought I’d check it out. As I pulled in, a caravan of loaded pickup trucks drove past, giving my first signal of what was going on. There were alot of people milling around, sitting on the porches. I saw a few PODS, 8-10 U-Hauls, and a bunch of cars and trucks backed up and huddled around the entrances. As I was following the loop that goes around the complex, and heading back out to University, I saw where the action really was. Several police keeping the peace, the Red Cross, and all of the local media.
If you read some of the tenant’s reviews, you’ll wonder why this place wasn’t shut down earlier.

My friend Peggy who was quoated yesterday in the Journal Star has had mold growing in her apartment for some time. This really is really a sad story. I feel that it should not have come to this.
