haha good times indeed. i stayed on the 5th floor, and i was there for at least 2 months. we were the 2nd generation of kids staying there (STP's own Sprout cracked the building), and saw many many people come and go. did you get a chance to check out the roof? there was a ladder on the 11th floor that gave the most beautiful view of the skyline i've ever seen. i probably have a picture laying around on my profile somewhere.
there was a homebum on the first floor named Mustafa, an older black guy with dreds and a long beard who looked out for the squatta kids and served as a protector and doorman for us (keeping the crack-heads out). a real stand-up gent, if you didnt get to meet him. he never took food or booze, no matter how much we offered.
