Tim,
You need some help.
Nothing wrong with my area unless you are a KKK member or a bigot.
I have been this area most of my 40 years,with very little problems.
My only problems have been from employees or customers,not the people who
live there.
I had way more problems in better areas where I have lived.
Please don't spread any more false rumors about my shop or area without
facts of proof,or you will get a special letter in the mail,
Larry
