i definitely got the place i looked
at today. dude thought i was awesome in the unstable sort of way. he
thought odsp + unstable mental health + musician + hitchhiking was like
the definition of being cool. i'm supposed to drop him off first/last
tomorrow afternoon, and get the keys on tuesday. i'm going to try and
stall him for a few days, though. the location has pros and cons. it's a
five minute walk to the east of walkerville, on the other side of a
trainyard. getting there means walking all the way around the train yard
and then all the way under the train yard. clearly a con in terms of
travel time, but also a pro in terms of it being isolated. it's also on
the edge of an older working class neighbourhood that's in the process
of being updated to newer houses. no human would possible go to this
street unless they lived on it. i sort of like that. it's cheap. 595 +
hydro. but the other one was 650 all inclusive, bigger, nicer and in a
more central part of town. so, i'd rather take the other place, but i
don't hate this place, either. i don't know when i'll hear back, though.
so, it's kind of a tender operation - if i stall this guy too long
he'll rent it to somebody else. let's hope i can juggle this right....
if things fall through and one or both of you come back looking again, i
suggest you try to avoid the rental companies in favour of going
directly to small property owners. that's what i've learned from this
experience. no management company would think hitching for hundreds of
kilometres to build a recording studio is a cool thing to do. either
way, i'll be in windsor for a while still. i'm currently in the
walkerville branch of the windsor public library, which is on tecumseh
just southeast of where we were staying. this afternoon, i'm going to do
a really comprehensive survey of the rental market in southern ontario.
