The Philly Apartment

The Philadelphia apartment is sparsely furnished, since we already have a houseful of furniture in Atlanta. The apartment has lamps (from Ikea); a desk, PC and chair; TV stand and TV; bookcase; kitchen table and two chairs (also from Ikea); and a mattress and box spring. On my last trip there, we added a Papasan chair and a loveseat. Prior to furnishing the living room, the apartment reminded me of dormitory living, but my better half missed that experience. (He commuted from his parents house when he attended college). The cat loves the deep window ledges, since she can perch there and watch birds, people, and traffic. (Any moving object gets scrutinized).

The apartment is only a couple blocks from the main campus of Philadelphia University, so there are many students living in the building. Despite the number of students, noise has not been a problem.
