[Mpls] My First Apartment

[Brandon Lacy]

My First Apartment was on W. 28th Street just off 28th and Garfield in the 
Lyn-Lake Neighborhood. I lived there from January 1998-January 1999 It was a 
beautiful two bedroom apartment that I shared with one of my fraternity 
brothers. We paid 650 a month (which I would die to pay again). We had hard 
wood floors, a glassed in porch and even a little balcony. The basement was 
terrifying. And our parties were FAMOUS ;-).

Ah, the good old days. My husband's and my first apartment, in the mid
1960's, was in the Windsor at 3rd and Franklin.
Had a huge one bedroom with a walk-in closet off the living room large
enough to use as a study.  We paid $115 a month
including heat and electricity. Both of us were grad students and both of 
us
worked a variety of jobs on and off the campus.
Made about $12,000 between the two of us, so our rent with utilities was
less than 12% of that.  Had more disposable
income then than we've had since. Bought a brand new '66 Mustang convert 
for
$2400 and filled up the tank with 25 cents
a gallon gas.
