When is the Mayor going to get involved…meet with Police chief, and shut this place down??!! How is this restaurant allowed to be open until 6am every weekend? How many people need to be shot before some political eyes open up??? I walk my dog near there every morning…I don’t need to be hit by a stray bullet because our politicians are too lazy to do the right thing! Hope things were quiet on your street this morning Andrea!!!
