That building used to be a Flower Shop many year's ago. Now its an after hours club. Eek. Our City has went to shit!
I was thinking the same thing. It was called Ford flowers and then a BBQ truck spot. Then a mechanic spot.
Some more for the pushing up daisies section of existence
I guess his mama never told him nothing good happens after midnight.
RIP
