The building where I live has undergone many transitions since I moved in here in 1987. Originally it was half retired people and half University of Denver graduate students. After that it was the "low cost alternative to Cherry Creek," and attracted a more mixed crowd. After the building was converted into condos, it became almost a dorm for DU students and was known far and wide as "party central." These days it is undergoing still another transition, as more and more students from mainland China move in. I must say they make very good neighbors - they are polite, tend to focus on their studies, don't party very much, and they don't jump off the balconies into the swimming pool, as many a non-Chinese DU student has done over the years. There are, of course, a few minor problems, as with most condo complexes. Some of the Chinese students keep Yetis for pets (see yesterday's post), which can be an annoyance, and they evidently have not been informed about the ban on banners hanging the balconies, but I'm sure building management will take care of that soon. Welcome aboard guys!
