History and Trivia
Pinewood Central was originally build as student accomodation for Garland University. It’s owned by a corporation and when Garland went through a financial crisis it amended the building rules to allow non-students to live there too.
There are still a lot of arbitrary rules in the building as a hold over from its student days and management never listens to the renters concerns.
