I found a key on the floor by the trash chute. If anyone is looking for it- I gave it to concierge.

I’m moving in this month and am excited to join the community. I am relocating from Boston so would appreciate recommendations for everything from great coffee to where to buy furniture!

Furniture. Join your local Buy Nothing group. Evolution Home. Bobs Discount Furniture. Look Again Thrift. The recycling area within the apt complex sometimes has neat finds. Wayfair can be a good place and sometimes Amazon. PS I love Boston!
