Jackpot! Two in a week.
Na bro
Now, I know why I kept seeing more and more emergency vehicles heading up “A” Street and turning into a street opposite LUCKY’S ….. They were heading for the pot house! I could also smell a lot of smoke as I passed by. Two in a week? What else!
As I drove up A Street towards the freeway, I kept seeing more and more emergency vehicles turning onto a street close to LUCKY’s. I could smell smoke and wondered how large the fire must have been considering how many vehicles were heading there. Two in one week, indeed! Scary!
