LEASING AGENT
When I was younger, I always wanted to live on one of those roomy Chicagoland lofts. Of course I wanted to live there by myself. And most of the ones that I saw on TV and really liked are completely different from the ones in real life. My friend Nate moved here from Boston back in the fall. His girlfriend Bliss and their friends Jordan and Hutch all live together in a loft. The living space is huge, but the bedrooms are small. Also, the building’s old so the hardwood floors aren’t that great. There’s no laundry in the building either, which can be really frustrating, especially during the winter. No one wants to drag a bag full of laundry through the cold and snow. From what they’ve told me, the building was going to be used for commercial purposes. The leasing agent kept saying she would get back to them, but they kept telling her it was what they wanted and that they were going to take it. So the leasing agent let them sign the lease for however long they’re going to stay there. It’s good enough for them now, but one day they’re going to want something nicer.
