My $80 A Month Apartment.

In 1975  I had an apartment from 1975-1979 they had two apartments inside of the house upstairs for $80 a month and tenants
did not even have to pay any other bills, but the bad thing about it
the landlord would not allow me to have cable that sucks when a
person is working nights from 5 PM to 1:30 am. I did turn the TV
on when I got home from work only to see the stations sign off.
This apartment was just right next door to landry mat and KFC just across the street not there any more.

Anyway my landlord was related to Carl Switzer who played
Afalfa on the "Our Gang" and "Litte Rascels" series. I probably would be excited about it if I was a 5  year old ,but I was around 30 years old. I heard news about Alfalfa's death ,and was even reading in the newspapers about a $20 loan at least that what the media was telling us.

  The house had a lot of antiques near the living room but there it sat a black and white televison ??!. 

Anyway in 1977 I got tired of being bored with the same fare on daytime tv so I bought a betamax VCR for $1000 and their tapes
back then cost $20 each. Now I can work nights and still watch
my favorite night time shows.. Hawaii Five-0, Bionic Woman. Charlie Angels,Switch and even network movies --Yeaaaa !
The beta tapes as well as the VHS tapes can recorded over and
over again at least a 100 times.
