I get inside, and call my friend to ask what her apartment number is. I get the number, and head up to apartment 201.

 

[leggo PE]

I turn one way down the hall, and see that that end has 211 and 212. 211 was getting moved into, so a lady popped her head out and confirmed that 201 was at the other end of the hall.

 

[leggo PE]

I go to the other end, find 201, and knock on the door.

 

[leggo PE]

The door opens, and a guy in his probably mid-thirties appears. A little surprised, I say, "Hi! Is this Brittney's apartment?"

 

[leggo PE]

(Note: typically no dudes are present for our bookclub meetings, hence my surprise)

 

[leggo PE]

He says, with a confused look on his face, "No...."

 

[leggo PE]

I say, "Are you sure?"

(I thought maybe this guy was my friend's husband.)

 

[leggo PE]

He says, "I'm sure."

 

[leggo PE]

I say, "Crap, am I in the wrong building?"

He says, "What building do you think you are in?"

 

[leggo PE]

I say hopefully, "1830?"

 

[leggo PE]

He replies, "No, this is 1840. 1830 is next door."

 

[leggo PE]

I apologize for knocking randomly on this guy's door. I then backtrack outside and double check that there is no number visible on the building.

 

[leggo PE]

I see no number to confirm that that building was 1840! How the heck was I supposed to know?

 

[leggo PE]

I then go to the next building, which, like 1850, clearly states its address: 1830. I then have to call my friend have her come let me in, because the door is locked.

 

[leggo PE]

Once inside, another book club member friend clues me in that the number for 1840 was BELOW THE BOTTOM STAIR on the outside of the building. I'm sorry, WHAT?

 

[leggo PE]

Why is that an optimal place to put the number for a building? Who is going to see it there? Good grief!
