This is an INCREDIBLE spot. Why the hell is it closed!?!? This is the best spot we’ve been to in awhiiiile! OPEN THIS PLACE BACK UP!!!!!!!! If some of us want to get together and fix this place up- email me. I’m dead ass serious. People have broke windows in all the buildings. Which is disgusting of them. No reason for that. But I’m down to bring this place back to life. If anybody’s with me- email me. Kgossage214@yahoo.com
