Anyone live in Helser-Carpenter? I walked by a room there once in 1999 and saw two dudes dry humping on a futon with the door open.

I was in the middle of eating a bagel as I read this. I am glad I was able to keep from spewing it out.

Found him

Wasn't me. Sorry to disappoint.

I miss West Stree Deli and now I might just drive up there to get a sandwhich tomorrow.

Yeah, it was a pit when I lived there 10 years ago. I'm sure it's even worse now, especially when you compare it to the on-campus apartments and suites that are available now.

1987-1988-ish: Oakwood apartments. That was about furthest south point of Ames (in that area anyway) at that time. Farm field directly south of the apartments.

1988-ish to 1992-ish: Apartments at 302 Hickory Dr (or something like that). They were new at that time and very nice.

1992-ish to 1994: The trailer park off of Lincoln Swing (College Park, or something like that).

 

[CloneIce]

1 year in the dorms at Helser, one year in a huge run-down party house on Campus Ave, 1 year in a huge run-down party house on Hyland, 3 years in a run-down triplex on Story St.

Another Man of Mortensen here. Although I was a about a half to whole generation ahead of you two! Did you still have to chase the mice of MacDonald out of the halls?

And yeah, it was a pit (albeit a liveable pit) 30 years ago. Since it was first floor, seemed like half of SW Friley would cut through in the winter. Floors were always a mess this time of year. But it was our pit! :smile:
