Hello, Good People

摘要

I'll never forget the time some friends and I were looking for an apartment in Chicago in the early 1990s. When we went to one showing, the place was filthy and full of books, furniture and who knows what else. But the man who invited us in to take a look was charming. On our way in he greeted us, saying: "Hello, good people." And he was just as friendly saying his goodbyes as the three of us beat a path to the door. This is a strange example, I know. But my point is that what my pals and I remember best about this experience is not so much the crazy apartment as the kind gendeman who showed it to us. (And had he offered a similarly charming product, we probably would've taken him up on the offer.)
