I've lived in several cities and towns over the years, all with their own flavor. But I always remember my first apartment out of college. It was a one-room studio in a cute little carriage house on a family's property near Pittsburgh. It was small, but it came with furniture and a window air conditioner. It was just right for me since I was a young reporter on a limited budget."
