You never quite know what you’re going to get when it comes to the mixed bag of neighbor fails. Some neighbors seem like they emerge from the underworld itself to unleash peace-destroying havoc upon all the furthest reaches of your life. If you actually live next to/above/below a great neighbor, count your lucky stars. Every night. People are wild, and having to live next to someone who is unhinged can quickly impact your ability to find anything close to inner peace.

1. Love it when the neighbors use the common space as storage.

A narrow hallway with tiled walls, featuring stacked strollers near a set of metallic mailboxes. Notices are posted on the wall above the strollers. A small staircase is visible in the background.

Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just as easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.

These days Matt’s caught up in trying to provide folks as many vivid glimpses into the days long since passed as he can, through fun and engaging collections of hand-picked vintage photos.
