What's the most memorable building you've lived in?
Submitted by Shelly.

It had to have been Brendenwood Apartments in Mishawaka, Indiana. I can say that so freely without repercussions because the "memories" there were so bad that the complex changed its name.

It was nearly 11pm on a warm summer night. I was playing video games with my girlfriend and my best buddy. We were having a grand time until we heard the bottles shattering against the door. The door shook as a body or many bodies slammed against it. The screaming was horrific, but from their tone and urban diction we discerned that it was a group of black young man beating the crap out of another black young man. 911 was called and the fight continued down the stairs and out the door into the parking lot. Once the police arrived, we opened the door to find a myriad of brown beer bottle shards and more blood than I had ever seen before. No one died, but you couldn't tell from the looks of it.

A week later we signed the lease on a new apartment.

First apartments are great lessons for life, and some lessons you never forget. That qualified as both.

(FYI, my Mom is in a stupified coma. She opens her eyes and tracks objects, but doesn't move. Not fun.)
