Elizabeth, you state:
Rule of thumb...always take the GROUND floor in an apartment or condo!
A gun carrying crazed neighbor who wants you dead is no funMan, you must live in one tough ass neighborhood! Although every time some car passes playing "rap" and the bass is nothing but total muddled distortion [but hey...it's LOUD...so is your horn...but it's not music!] I have the urge to murder the woofers!
