house

Everyone has their own version of the American dream. For me, a small town girl who always dreamed of moving to the big city, renting my first apartment was always a major part of that fantasy. I didn’t even have to get to the city to experience it, however, as I rented my first place with some friends in college. At the time, I was blissfully oblivious of anyone else beyond my front door, but I’m sure now that we were probably not my landlady’s dream tenants.
