Community Garden Update

Our garden is getting so much produce that we had to expand it! Don't worry residents, next year we'll probably be adding another plot to it so everyone can get their stuff in.

 We've got some baby tomatoes growing.

 Massive heads of lettuce

 Basil for days

 Our bell peppers are starting to peek through

 The far leaves are squash and zucchini, the middle is arugula and the closest is spinach

 ...like I said, we may need more land next year.

Restaurant Review

Jason's Deli

So for those of us that live around a Jason's Deli, this might seem like a silly blog post, but we have a lot of people that move into our apartments that move in from out of town or even out of the country. Jason's Deli is right down the road from our apartment complex, and let me tell you, it is GOOD!

They have an amazing salad bar that you can get pretty much anything on - hummus, organic fruit, cottage cheese, gingerbread or cornbread muffins, oh yeah, and salad with pretty much anything you'd want on it! You can either go up one time with half of your sandwich or soup, or you can get the unlimited experience and go up as many times as you'd like to.

They have MASSIVE sandwiches! Our Assistant Property Manager gets the Beefeater every time and it comes with au jus, a pickle and some chips.

Our head of Maintenance, Lora (you can read about her a few posts ago) gets the taco salad. Crunchy tortilla chips underneath an actual salad with your choice of regular or Southwest Chicken chili, guacamole and sour cream to top it off!

I got the California Club this time (but I've had their taco salad, salad bar, tuna sandwich, and everything has been delicious!) and it was very tasty :D It's creamy with avocado, you've got a lot of lettuce on there and the crunchy bacon is soooooo good. But I really love that it comes on a croissant, it's so buttery and flaky and goes perfectly with this sandwich.

 

But the best part (especially if you have kids, or are a kid at heart) is the free ice cream that you get if you eat in the store! They have chocolate or vanilla or you can swirl it. And you can get it in a cup or a cone, or a cup with a cone on the top.

Have you been to Jason's Deli? What was your favorite thing on the menu?

Welcome Home!

When you rent an apartment here at Blankenbaker Crossings you'll be welcomed with a friendly smile and a lovely bag of goodies for you to indulge in. It makes your move a little easier! Our office is always open if you need to talk to us (about anything, not just apartment life), and we've always got some sort of cookies or candy for you to snack on. You also get a move-in packet with menu's and coupons for different restaurants in the area.

But would you want anything else? Something a little different than what we provide? We want to know your thoughts on what you feel like your apartment should, or should not do when you move in.
