That’s too bad. I hope it can be repaired/refurbished. This really is sad.

You are the reason I could not get any sleep all this time at night. It’s been nice and quiet now.

Gosh y’all are so corny. I hate reporters

Customers can eat outside & drink a cool one until the bar reopens. The city made that happen with the COVID BS.. And bring in port-a-potties... If that's good enough for contractors it's good enough for anyone.

It needs spray foam... That stuff fixes everything!
