I had just split up with my first partner. I moved into a brand new apartment complex in Mesa, AZ called Crestwood. Very brutal architecture for 1984, no?
Madonna hadn't even released Like a Virgin yet.
I ended up getting the exact unit I wanted, top floor end unit. Not surprising considering most of the apartments in this part of the complex were still empty. As I recall my rent was $300/month for a one-bedroom. Imagine that.
Lots of interesting adventures while I lived there. That's all I'm gonna share right now.
I suppose it does look like a 25-year-old's apartment…
The only things I still have in this picture are the two paintings, the poster (rolled up in a tube somewhere I think), and the antique lamp. The lamp is no longer in use because it needs to be rewired. Another project for retirement, I guess!
