The End of the Bailey Ave Bachelors Legacy

It was a sad day a few weeks ago as I watched my old roommates and best friends pack up their things and move out of the the Bailey Avenue bachelor pad.  I had found this one of a kind place in the post gazette 5 years ago while searching for a new apartment.  The listing went something like this..

5 Bedrooms
2 Living Rooms
2 Bathrooms,
A deck with a view of the city
Above a bar.
$1200 bucks.

Wha wha what??!!  We jumped at the chance and over the past five years many great memories came out of that spot.  Caved in ceilings, blown out walls and roommate after roommate with no leases at all.  It was a beautiful nightmare.  I only lasted 2 years there before moving out but had many, many great times at this place.  I also ended up eventually moving right across the street because I missed my friends and I continued to spend many late nights there.  Sad to see my neighbors go but here's to new chapters. 

They were getting the last of their things out the other day and I decided to grab them a 6 pack and enjoy the half decent weather out on the deck with them.  We reminisced of classy times like true gentlemen.  Shouts to everyone who lived in the pad over the last 5 years.  Joe, Kevin, Dan, Jason, Moe, Mike, Zim, Jake and Anthony.  I think that's all of them haha.  Cheers fellas!


And the final 3, Joe, Dan & Ben..
