First Apartments

Jasmine moved into her first apartment in Janesville, near the mall. It's cute, and in a good neighborhood (I think). She's working hard, going to school full-time and working about 25 hours a week. Jasmine's also lived in two different dorm rooms.

Rose just moved out of her apartment and is temporarily staying at home and/or with friends. She's looking for a one-bedroom in Janesville in a good location. Any suggestions where to go/ not to go? Rose has lived in four different dorm rooms, rented a room in a house, and had an apartment in Deerfield.

I understand Janna and Adam have moved to a new apartment in Madison. Last I heard Katie had an apartment in Whitewater, although that's been a while, and Kimmy had an apartment in downtown Janesville, across from the library.

I actually lived in the same apartment, as a college student, that my parents and I lived in when I was a baby, above Dr. Heimerl's dentist office on Madison Street in Evansville. I also lived in another apartment in Evansville, across from the post office. Louie and I had a rent-to-own land contract on a trailer between Janesville and Evansville, which we sold to my dad.

Do you recall your first apartment? I remember when both Alice and Judy (separately) lived in Madison off Park Street. I doubt they'd live there today. Times have changed. Judy also had an apartment in Evansville, on Main Street, and across the street at a different time, Brenda had an apartment. I remember Dawn and Judy's apartment in Tennessee when Cole was born and Brenda living in an apartment on Union Street (Highway 14) in Evansville when Dustin was born. I don't recall Becky living in an apartment, but I do remember she and Curt living in a trailer on Curt's father's farm. I also remember Sue and Dave living in a trailer, first off Kellogg Avenue in Janesville, then in the country between Janesville and Milton. I remember Bev living in a small brick cottage house on Highway 14 towards Madison.

Please add any memories you have of your first apartment.
