Apartment Search

So I have been slightly slacking on keeping up with my blog this week due to many things: facebook stalking, homework, working, shopping, but the most frustrating and time consuming activity has been apartment searching.  The thing about living in an old city such as Savannah is that you really don't know what is going to be hiding behind the old walls of the southern mansions.   

More than once this week I have eagerly opened the big doors of possible future residencies only to be disappointed by foul smells, dingy walls, and dark hallways.  Every place I go has something wrong with it.  It's not like I'm that picky.  I want an apartment that is clean, has good light, at least two bathrooms, and good closet space.  I could care less about a yard or a large kitchen (I am known to almost never enter that room).  So why has this adventure become such a dilemma?  

One thing that I have come to understand is that people back when ever Savannah was established didn't have as many shoes and clothes as we do now.  But, I know that somewhere out there, back then, there was a certain southern belle that did splurge on excess gowns, slippers, and accessories.  If someone could point me to where she resided I will forever owe you.  (Oh, and I ask for all of this at a reasonable price, thanks. ; )
