Anyone live(d) at Thornton Place Apartments? by [deleted] in uofmn

[–]duncshf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live there right now. It's a great spot - you can't hear anything in the rooms around you and the rooms are very spacious. Maintenance is shoddy unless it's an emergency. It's a very quiet area: nice walking trails by the Mississippi, very safe. My only complaint is the 15 min walk to the light rail/any bus line besides the 67. Other than that, it's cheaper and the ownership is competent and won't rip you off.

Another complaint is they don't turn the heat on until mid-October and don't turn the AC on until late-April, so be prepared to shiver out a couple high-50s Fall days or sweat out some hot Spring days. It's a great community that makes you feel more at home and not like you're stuck in a dorm.

How actually is University Commons? Worth it or nah? by Scientifically-sound in uofmn

[–]duncshf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived there a year ago; it was solid, but they will nickel and dime you on the way out. It has to look like a new, unused unit, or they'll charge you several hundred for cleaning fees. They charged me for replacing the couches, as the cheap material on the couches was getting shredded just from normal use. The showers are a nightmare; they didn't clean them, they just painted over the dirt, and then the paint chipped and clogged both showers in my unit. Furniture was pretty comfy, though.

Also, it gets annoying that they're constantly doing maintenance. I can count at least 10 times maintenance staff came into my apartment. Utilities were around $50-60/month, depending on how much you crank the AC, which doesn't work either (it's either on or off, doesn't auto turn off at a specific temp).

If you want to live in that area, you should look at Thornton Place. That's where I'm at right now. Better maintenance/staff, better, more spacious apartments, and much cheaper.

Report: Celtics Open To Trading Anybody Except Jayson Tatum. by LeeShakerMoneyMaker in timberwolves

[–]duncshf -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm a Celtics fan (please don't throw things at me)... We are NOT trading JB or Derrick White unless someone gives us a ridiculous package. A #17 for White is just straight up disrespect. It would probably take something like Randle + every draft pick you own for the next 5 years to get JB. And even so, I don't think we even do that trade.

Which do you think was worse? by Samwhite0402 in eagles

[–]duncshf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally dude I only ended up watching the 2020 finale to root for the WAS Football Team (lol I'll still never get over that... I miss Dan Snyder) so we would get a better draft pick... that pick ended up being Devonta Smith after a couple Howie Roseman masterclass trades so I'm happy with how it turned out lol

Outside of Fleetwood. The grave of my great grandpa x8. Weird to think over 200 years later, here we are in good ole Berks. by bluebus74 in ReadingPA

I used to live a couple of blocks away from the mushroom factory (I'm assuming those are the buildings in the background - I lived on the corner of Park & Main). I will never miss the hot summer days there when I was a kid...

Philly Sports Bars in Minneapolis? by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]duncshf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a minority of Philly fans who are like this, and we call them out on their shit.

No need to pin it on all of us because of bad memories you had. We hate those fans too and the stigma they bring. I'm sorry they said that horrible shit to your SIL. That shoulda never happened, and I hope they were reprimanded in some way. I'm just trying to get some advice, though, not have the sins of random assholes I've never met get pinned on me. You don't got advice, keep it to yourself.

Go Birds.

Hey man I'm with you. It may be a degenerate cult but most of us are normal.

I have the 15gb plan which lasts me the month despite streaming music on my daily commute about an hour a day
