Unfortunately, after about a week of waiting for someone to stop by, saying "Hey, can I take your sofa?" I ended the free sofa experiment. My conclusions: of the 60-some-odd apartments in this complex...
1) No one needs a sofa bed,
2) Everyone's too lazy or doesn't have enough burly friends to remove the couch from my apartment, or
3) No one likes free stuff.
However, that is not the case for the rest of Cincinnati. I decided Monday morning to post the couch on Craig's List, and see what happened. Within hours of posting, I had half a dozen interested people, one of which got a couple of his friends over to take the couch in about a half an hour of my talking with him.
That's amazing.
So, the lesson learned here is - Don't depend on your neighbors when the Internet is much more responsive. Thank you.
