The People of the Towers
I had a chance to look at the Commonwealth Towers floor plan before moving into it. The floor plan gave me a good idea of what the tower would be like, which is why I decided to live there. The building suited all of my needs and was close enough to my job that I wouldn’t have to take a long commute to work. As someone who doesn’t own a car and has to ride public transportation, the less distance I have to travel, the better. I’d say things worked out perfectly for me when I moved into the Towers.
Since being in the Towers, I’ve had a chance to get to know my neighbors and other people who live on my floor. The person who lives to my right is an older businessman who had been living in the Towers for a couple of years. He made most of his money by doing stock market trading and real estate purchases. He wanted to live in the condo rather than a home because he felt it would be less maintenance. Every time I talk to him, he always has some good advice to give me about business. I was able to buy my first stock because of the tips he gave me, and that stock had done well ever since.
On the left side of me, there is a younger girl closer to my age. She’s attending college to get her master’s degree in teaching. She’s pretty cute and has the most adorable smile when she’s talking to me. Maybe I should ask her out one of these days. Across the hall, there is a married couple and their 8 year old son. They’ve been in the Towers longer than any of us. They are pretty friendly, and their son like to talk to me.

We have the loan squared away and we have had the land for a long time. Right now we are talking to the sub contractors and working on the details. Obviously we have to think about getting some sort of Maryland adt home security system as we are not going to be there enough to be shore. The land is not exactly on the Chesapeake Bay, but it is quite near it. It is about half an hour by road from there to Annapolis and when the tides are high it is quite close to the bay, probably around fifty yards. Some of the locals talk about Global Warming in a very real sense. If you have been to the old part of Annapolis it is obvious that stuff is real, at least if you ever go there when the tides are really high. They call it nuisance flooding, but it is going to be a serious problem in the next couple of decades it would seem. Some of it may be because the ground is settling, but it is plain enough that the human race has a lot to do with it.
