What's strange is they used to have grills out near each group of apartments that were there for the community to use. Then a few years back they removed all of them except for the one grill by the pool. So if you wanted to grill out you had to take your stuff over to the pool and hope no one else was there using it instead of 4 other grills they used to have on the property.
