It started off slowly, a few cars lining the streets and small piles of used items covering street corners as students moved their belongings over the weekend.
On Monday, the chaos was no longer controlled as furniture piles grew higher, traffic grew heavier and the most common sight was students sitting on the steps of vacant apartments with blank stares. It was the final day for most Downtown tenants to move from one property to the next.
For Jeremy Kleier, a UW- Madison junior and recent 400 block West Mifflin Street resident, the day was carefree. As students rushed to clean out their former properties, Kleier relaxed on a couch outside his new home.
