Edler Grins; Residents Cringe

Just when things were pretty quite on the home front, several “demand for payment” notices have gone up on doors around the building. Some of the notices are for relatively small sums of money ($3,000). Perhaps people are traveling and simply haven’t paid their rent in a month or so.  So if you’re out of town, you may want to have someone take a look on your door.  I’ve been seeing David Elder in the lobby this week, grinning his shit-eating grin.  Perhaps this is why. He’s the guy who signed the demand notices.  We are still awaiting the arrival of a new manager at which point surely Elder will be banished to the Hinterland, never to darken our doorway again.  -- Ed Hamilton
