579

A look at my apartment building from across the street, my building is the one in the center (the shorter one)

579 was the apartment that I stayed in while living in the city. It couldn't have been a more perfect place for me to live. Not only is the location prime (since it is right in an amazing shopping street with tons of stuff to do right outside my door) but the place was great (although a little--ok, a lot dirty) and my roommates were AWESOME!!! Basically, It couldn't have been a more perfect set up for me to be in.

The apartment was a HUGE loft, so lots of space (which is rare in NY sometimes). And all the rooms were in the back made out of partitian, so we each had our own little caves to retreat to whenever we wanted.

Here are some photos....

My bedroom...a little small, but it worked

My roommates:

Mikey "Teadybear" Williams is a GIGANTIC guy, at least when you're talking to a girl who is 5'2". He is 6'9", but is a total teady bear! He is originally from New Jersey, but has lived in the city for awhile now and is a computer programer. He was so much fun to hang out with. I believe he was constantly making fun of me, but we still had tons of good times!!!

Courtney and my roommate Mikey!

Jamie Ideou moved in about two weeks after I moved in. And the crazy thing about her is that she is originally from Yakima, WA (only about 45min away from my hometown) and went to UO and studied Architecture. But now she works for MTV in Timesquare and knew Courtney through the Yap family. But Jamie was awesome and hilarious! I definitely loved having her there!

Me and my roomie Jamie!

Jo LeVine was my third roommate. He was a really nice guy but worked crazy hours, so was rarely at home. Sorry...no picture.

The fifth roommate was my good friend Courtney Carter. Yes, technically I only had 3 roommates, but Courtney was there a lot. And since she would be taking my place in the apartment after my 2 months were up...she was practically our roommate. But it was SO much fun to have Courtney there in NY with me...I can't say that enough! We had such a great time hanging out again and I'm totally going to miss her when I move back to the west coast!

Me and Courtney...I love this girl!
