our apartment burnt down, twice − September, 1995
we had a resident arsonist in stevens square. he set the building on fire once, and we went to stay with my parents while they cleaned up the building, because everything smelled like smoke. a few days later, he set it on fire again, and this time it really took.
the only apartment in the building that wasn't destroyed was ours, because we were on the first floor above the boiler room, which had fireproof walls. after much debate, the fire marshal decided to escort us in to move our stuff out. we had three hours to do it. that was one of the most stressful and horrible weeks of my life.
totally have the videos of us being interviewed on the evening news. haha.
