The wife, kid and I are moving up in the world. In just over a week we're moving into a nice new condo All thanks to the wife and her new job with the Social Security Administration. The place is top notch too, 3 bedroom, 2 full baths(one in master bedroom), large kitchen, living room, and dining room, solarium off living room, dishwasher, ect. Plus there's a pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and tons of other crap included. Can't wait

Great! Clubhouse, eh? Sounds like home field advantage for gigs.

Squeak D----Wow, first class----Now if you only had that "Caddy" back to park in front.

Congratulations Squeak. Will you be able to play freely in the condo (loud )?
To bad they don't have a music room.

Actually I really won't have to worry too much about volume level The walls in this place have special sound insulation. My wife and I are very excited about this place. It is such a great community. I was very pleased to see that there was even set time that all kids under the age of 18 have to be in by. To reduce any problems with vandalism and late night loitering, no minors are primited to hang out around the grounds after 9pm unless accompanied by an adult/guardian/or parent. It's a very safe place to live.

Congratulations Squeak, turn the volume up.

PS, Not to offend, but the "rules" you mentioned brought goosebumps.

Personally, I like the rules. I like the time limit for children. It helps keeps other tenants at ease. There are too many parents out there who have absolutely no accountability for their children, and won't accept responsibility for their kids. It's not to say the kids are locked up at 9pm They're free to leave with friends. The complex owners don't want a bunch of children loitering and unattended roaming the grounds after dark. It's also safety for them as well. There are a lot of predators out there. It's basically a gated community with 24 security. All the other rules are as basic as they get with any rental complex. I've been the manager of the apartment building I currently live in for nearly two years now. Their rules are basically identical to my own. At first I thought they were locking the kiddies down, but the manager of the place explained it better. The kids their don't seem to mind, and the parents I talked to love the idea. They feel more secure knowing their children aren't allowed to roam after dark. Being a parent myself I wouldn't want my child roaming either. I'd want her home when it gets dark.

Actually when I think about it their have been several apartments I've lived in with curfews for the children. My wife grew up in Florida, and the complex she lived at with her father had the same thing. So I guess it's not an uncommon practice.
