Hopefully this makes the authorities clean out that space. It’s full of garbage with all that cooking. It turned into a nasty block with all those people and a whole bunch of food.

@mnimn Can’t even call it a plaza at this point. It’s full of garbage, dirty food with bird poop and car fumes. It’s a hazard with all those pots of oil they have around.
