Amazing!!! Miguel showed up to replace the actuator in the HVAC system, which had been making a lot of noise, 2-3 hours after the ticket was entered.
Thank you, Miguel!

My first apartment River City was my first apartment after graduating from college. I have lived here for many years and have seen River City improve over that time. Unfortunately, I had to leave the neighborhood, but I will remember RC fondly.
