Is that the public housing complex on Clarence Street? In my opinion, the best deal for a poor student to live in the market....just lock your doors. My buddy lives there and the apartments aren't all that bad.

Interesting... never heard that one before...


So I guess it fits in well with the glass pyramid down the road.

Cool stuff, gatt. Were you working on a job at the time or do you know someone that lives there?
