Within the next month, I will completely be moved out of my apartment on the lower East side of Milwaukee. I’ve been here nearly two years and they have been a great two years with lots of memories. As much fun as it’s been though, I’m ready to move on and move up.
Neill and I thought we’d put together a list of things that we will and won’t miss about living in this apartment of ours.
Things We’ll Miss
Being able to walk to just about anything you need
Living so close to the lake
Walking distance to all of the festivals (ie Jazz in the Park, Summerfest, and any other fest you can imagine)
Having the clout of saying “I live in downtown Milwaukee
Being in a great central point to Water Street, Brady Street and North Avenue. You figure out the connection
Food. Lots and lots of great food.
Neill: “Being so damn close to work”
Neill never having to fire up the ignition to his car
Never fighting traffic in and out of Downtown. I’m always going out when everyone else is coming in.
Proximity to where I play softball and volleyball
Free WiFi downtown
Neill being able to go out after work and just walk home
People watching
Lakefront Brewery tours and fish frys
Bumpers on my kitchen table
Pizza Shuttle, Oriental Coast, Zaynas
Things We Won’t Miss:
Neill and Bonnie having their cars broken into
Fighting for parking on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night
The lady upstairs playing cello during Packers games
20-30 minute drive to and from work for me
No closet space
Listening to people outside of my window at 2am complain to their girlfriends about how much their boyfriend sucks and how they should break up with them
Shared laundry facilities
No kitchen cabinets
Many of you have spent time in Casa del Cass St. What are you going to miss and what are you not going to miss?
the overall small space of your apt.

Things Tulsa will Miss: Flooding the apartment the morning before xmas dinner, a place to crash follwing a rough night at the coin, and yes the birthday present from the bar closers… The gift of a shiny used bumper with bugs and even a license plate too!!!

Tara,
Glad you and Kneel found a site. Make him actually drive that Volvo into work.
On behalf of Kneel, he’ll miss the proximity to The Club. Unfortunately, he’ll now have
to leave early to make the drive home. This will likely mean he will no longer be so hung over at
work THAT HE EXCUSES HIMSELF TO VOMIT ALL OVER THE 8th FLOOR STALL!
Thanks!
Big Otis
