Thank you for finally cleaning up the overgrown weeds, bushes and vines, this hasn’t been done all year! It looks so much better!<br>I feel like building 3 gets a little neglected in some areas. Outside landscaping, up until the trimming, has been an eyesore, IMO.<br>The carpeting on the first floor, in particular by the elevators and doors, have so many stains it’s embarrassing when I have visitors. I know I have called when I have seen new spills, so it can be cleaned but it usually isn’t in a timely manner.<br>These are my than yous & opinions.

I wish they offered day trips to get people out about. It could be as simple as a trip to the farmers market or transport to a dinner show.

I love my apartment and also being able to sit on my balcony. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and kind. They have bingo, happy hour/pot-luck, and many more activities. Just having a place with peace and quiet was all I ever wanted and this is the place. Need to add that the office staff are wonderful and there for you too.

We are still waiting for our bushes to be trimmed. As of now, they are almost past the window.
