Does anyone remember, is the bus depot entrance on the east side or the west side of the building? You don't want to be looking down on a greyhound parking lot. Also I would expect "Rick" to try to unload his least desireable unit on you since you're not there to see it.

I assumed it was on the south side, because all the buses pull in on the north side.

well per Lou(below)--its on the west side...and I made it clear to Rick I do NOT want to be on that side...that's the 1st thing I said... so that's not the case... hahahaah..but thanks for looking out!

honestly i wouldn't put any money down or sign anything until i experienced the place for myself. regardless of how it is described, you need to feel comfortable there.

Does anyone have any idea how many units are in the building? Just curioius.

It is on the south side, at least that's the main entrace across from market east and where all the cabs wait. there may be another entrance.

I visited the apartments and there was a constant hum from the hundreds of busses at the bus station below the building?

Any current tenants have any insights about the noise from the bus station and that from constuction?

Thanks!

How about the smell of diesel exhaust?
