jackson heights: home Wednesday May 26

my new home away from home: jackson heights, queens, new york city. tuesday afternoon, i put down first month's rent and a security deposit on a room in a 4-bedroom apartment just off of woodside avenue at 76th street (the center of this map is where i live, starting saturday).

overall, i think i looked at something like 12 places, and only one of them struck my fancy more than this one. and that one was, literally, more than double in rent. if the place that i realllly wanted but couldn't afford was boardwalk, then i'm staying at marvin gardens. and let me tell you, i always liked the yellow set. the greens were good too. boardwalk is so cliche.

i haven't met two of the roommates; apparently they keep to themselves. the guy i've been dealing with is gustavo, and he's 31, mexican. and i really like him.　　except for the fact that he works for sprint.
