There used to be a short on Mtv called Joe’s Apartment.
He lived with singing and dancing cockroaches...

Now that was a weird short. But the beautiful young woman that was Joe’s date made it worth seeing, cockroaches notwithstanding.
One of my daughters, at one time, lived in a basement apartment in Chicago.
She had stories about the cockroaches, but one story sets apart from the rest;
One morning she was running late and hurriedly grabbed her stuff, opened the door, and in ran a big cockroach, followed by a centipede. She chased after them all over the place, I don’t recall if she killed them or not.
