Reviews
The police are always being called to this establishment! Last night I witnessed a mother call the cops on Tyniqua Smith and her boyfriend because they held these poor parents’ child hostage! I recorded it on my phone and will be sending it to the authorities, this neighborhood is ghetto! There’s always gunshots and children going missing, always yelling and arguing on this block. Tyniqua often answers the door with a bruised lip or face or eye, it’s clear that she’s being beaten on by this man.
