Saving Charlie

After getting a new job at Burnt Toast Diner on April 25, 2006, Hiro tells Lynette that he is staying at the Midland Motor Lodge. Charlie insists that Hiro find an apartment. She quickly lists all the available apartments she memorized from the newspaper, including the one Hiro ends up renting at 40 Progress Street. (Chapter 9)

That afternoon, Hiro and Charlie go apartment hunting. The landlord, Mr. Roiz, tells them the apartment is a little small, but the rent is affordable. Hiro notes that the apartment is barely the size of his cubicle at Yamagato Industries. Despite some of the apartment's drawbacks (a bed that takes up half the room, outdated furniture, a tiny dorm fridge with a microwave balanced on top, shelves made of plywood, thick layers of dust, a bathroom down the hall, a television set that requires pliers to change the channel), Hiro likes the apartment. He takes the name of the street (Progress Street) as a positive sign. Hiro invites Charlie over for a housewarming at the end of the week. (Chapter 11)
