I am the luckiest Mikey EVER
lionlady got me in touch with her landlord - a wonderful nice guy - and it turned out that he has an apartment available! And get this... he's going to let me live on the entire second floor of a Worcester triple decker (a six room apartment, with three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and living and dining room) by myself and he's going to charge me $400 a month.
400 dollars a month.
It has a two car garage. And a gas stove.
The only catch is that it hasn't been updated EVER. An elderly couple (brother and sister) in their 80s lived there until they both died recently. The same family owned and resided in the building since 1916. The landlord happens to know the entire history of the place because he's lived in the building next to it his whole life. The last time the house was painted was 1969, and everything inside the place is original and hasn't been fixed or updated in any way. Even the furniture and stuff that the elderly couple owned is still inside the aparment. He described it as akin to "stepping into a time capsule".
Essentially, the landlord is a Worcester native and he feels that the city is charging way too much for rents... and he feels somewhat guilty that I'll be moving in before he paints the walls or anything, so he's going to charge me $400 because I'm a friend of lionlady. I just can't freaking believe it.
I'm going to see the inside on Sunday.
I am completely, totally psyched.
lionlady is THE BOMB. I am so truly, truly grateful. I'm now feeling really, really excited about this new move. I can't wait!

A little outdated?
And check for phone jacks.
Re: A little outdated?
The only thing I need to know is whether or not I can get cable and Charter Pipeline in that area. I sure hope I can...
