							My name is Eretta and I have lived in the Rigsby Apartments in East San Antonio since 1974. I have never considered leaving Rigsby, although we have seen many changes over the years.
		When I came to live at Rigsby, I was married with 5 children, who were all just about grown. I worked in customer service at the PX on Fort Sam and my husband was in the military.I live on social security and a small retirement fund.The atmosphere at Rigsby was good in 1974, but has gone up and down over the years. In recent years, there was a lot of drug activity. Things got much better when they built that fence to keep outsiders and troublemakers out. And now they are doing some big renovations. Good things are coming to Rigsby, and I think the good will hold out this time.
						Living in Rigsby is very convenient for me. I have a paraplegic son who has an apartment right across the way and l like being close to him. We are near the bus stop and the supermarket. My rent is $126 per month. This apartment is my little house; it’s all I have. I don’t care about other places being new; I like it here. I know people who left Rigsby, who would like to come back; especially now that the renovations are happening. I am glad that someone finally saw the potential for this place and is working to make it better. I think Rigsby is a place where people can raise families, and feel at home. I am 74 years old and I hope I can spend the rest of my days here at Rigsby.
