An example of why I do not open the door to solicitors or anyone I don’t know after dark.
Another proud Antioch alumni
Hilarious!
Like I said before, Antioch criminals sure know how to represent, anytime and anyplace. Apparently, Antioch criminals are so extremely comfortable in this city that they think they can get away with crime in other cities.
