Forest Hills Terrace Apartments

You’re probably wondering why is this fool reviewing and apartment complex in East Cleveland on the Los Angeles Unilocal.Well for one reason because this is where I’m from and where I travel to most often other than NY and Chicago, but most importantly my elderly aunt lives here in this hell hole.
Let me just be clear to let you know it’s actually a pretty decent place for seniors to live or die however you want to see it.
My aunt moved in here 15 years ago after my uncle passed away and left her to support herself after 25 years of marriage. She worked briefly thru the years but for the most part she just relied on my uncle to bring home the bacon. Now fast forward and she’s living in this senior apartment complex for a mere $ 176/​month for rent and they get 2 shuttles that come by to take them to the local grocery store and mall and they have community functions downstairs in the rec room like bingo, movie night, prayer meeting and so forth. This really doesn’t appeal to my aunt since she’s sort of non-​social in every meaning of the word.
Ok so it’s not as much of a hell hole as I made it out to be but it has some downfalls like they have a very bad roach problem in that complex and every time I go to see my aunt roaches are crawling everywhere. Even though they spruced up most of the apartments with new air conditioners and counter tops they still need to fix elevators, washing machines, and door buzzers. Yes minor stuff but when you’re a senior citizen those small things count to you.
One little nice part of this complex its half Russian occupied and the rest are African American with a sprinkle of islanders as well. I like it when I go over there and I see the signs and postings in Russian and English it just tickles me to death.
Sorry this review is long and boring but I had to get some things off my chest and the final straw was when I visited my aunt last week and I noticed she didn’t have cable anymore and was going the ‘rabbit ear’ method which was crazy because reception is bad enough with the snowy weather. Well I wanted to do a good did for my aunt so for xmas I ordered her Direct TV so she can watch all the channels she wants to without any hesitation. So order the service and they schedule to come 2 days after Christmas which was perfect because I was leaving 3 days after Christmas so I would be able to see the joy on her face before I left. Well that plan went out the window the day that the installation guy came and immediately called up to let me know that the office stopped him at the door and said that don’t allow satellite cable in the building. WTF!
Of course being the radical that I am had to go down to the office and voice my opinion of why there not allowing Direct TV in the building when everyone in the neighborhood has it. They said it’s against there policy. I asked why people in the building can’t get Direct TV that cost &29.99 a month rather then get the normal service which cost $ 49.99 a month it just doesn’t make any sense. Hence my first thought is this place is a hell hole!
