The last few times I got a sassy lady who got very indignant and basically hung up on me. I tried to tell her that our neighborhood has gang issues and we were encouraged to call the cops when we see loitering by large groups in known gang hangouts and yet she still didn't give a shit. Anybody else have this happen? It happened a few times to me now.uptowngirl12https://www.blogger.com/profile/05708892968698447735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-57360372842040115862016-04-26T13:00:55.258-05:002016-04-26T13:00:55.258-05:00Anyone know what businesses (other than the Quick ...Anyone know what businesses (other than the Quick Stop, pictured above) were closed, and why?garyscanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10125261781940893994noreply@blogger.com
