Resident Pool Party

I'm sorry I've been on hiatus for a little while! We've just been so busy planning our resident appreciation pool party! It was a great time, and we handed out a ton of prizes. Stuff from the Louisville Quest, the Derby Museum, Buck's Restaurant, and discounts off of rent!

That last lady won $100 off her rent, can't you tell?! We're going to have a neighborhood wide yard sale on September the 14th so feel free to come out and shop if you're not selling anything.

Do you have any other ideas for events around the community? We were thinking about a pumpkin carving contest in October. Would you want to participate? Or do you have an idea of another event we could do?

Grand Opening

Hello friends! It's been awhile and I apologize for that! But we were having a celebration that I hope you were able to come to. We just had the grand opening for our dog park ceremony which was well attended by our residents (especially considering how hot it was outside). It was a very sunny day and we had representatives from both Feeders Supply in Middletown and Metro Vet (an emergency service vet that is located right up the road). We are so thankful to them for coming out and talking to our pet owners in the community and hope that our residents will take advantage of their kindness.

We had about 12 dogs came out, and there were many treats given and prizes handed out. And the dogs got to run around without leashes on!




Did your dog get to come out? How did they like it?

You're Invited!

Blankenbaker Crossings is going to the dogs! We're having our ribbon cutting ceremony for our new puppy playground this Sunday the 14th at 5pm! We really hope you and your four legged family members will be able to make it!

We have several vets and other pet related businesses from around the area coming to the opening so we'd really love for our residents to come out and share their support! Please call the office if you have any questions for us!

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.

Community Garden Update!

Well our garden has had so much stuff planted in it we've had to till some extra land! Here's what's growing in our garden:

       

What did you plant this year? And how's it growing?
