Really on Peppertree ?
Tell me it’s not so.
Three in two weeks? interesting. Looks like we re going through another cycle.
Gotta love Antioch and its ghetto ways. Don’t worry though, Antioch is spending $75k of tax payer money to convince people we look good, starting with the schools. Happy days.
With the influx of Oakland gangs this is bound to happen.
Quite the astute, observation, Julio.
Bet you ain’t walking down any Antioch street calling your fellow Antiochians Oakland gang members.
People gotta live somewhere=FACT. Follow the money, cuh. Your elected officials and local businessmen sold your idyllic bedroom community. Shameful. Poor Smith Brothers and those few, hearty settlers. Antioch. Yup. Just like the one from the Bible.
PS
No offense to you, Julio. It is a combination of many things. My rant wasn’t pointed toward you purposefully. Just my childhood through these rose tinted shades I forgot to take off. Good luck to yall! Don’t forget to love your neighbor!
Man, not again.
That’s sad that this black people are killing one another like that take that shit back to Oakland
