JFC, someone took their grandmother to Romis at 12:30 in the morning!?

How has this shithole not been shut down yet? Somebody knows who was shooting.
Its the business owners fault. Just ask the mayor
IT doesn’t get any better than this folks.. Pat I would like to solve this puzzle. !!
ATF will be expanding their scope to include a focus on 18th & Cavallo?
Romi’s should have been shut down years ago! That one attracts the worst-of-the-worst! If you can avoid it, do not drive past it or you might get carjacked at the light or wind up with a stray bullet in your head. Run them out of town!
I hope my grandkids never take me grocery shopping at Romis at 12:30 in the morning. That’s pretty sad!!
Who owns this Romi’s shithole?
Seems that the grandmother was shot in the head, which is not a good sign.
That place should be shut down and bulldozed along with some of the apartment buildings on Cavallo where a lot of these low lives reside.
I get such a kick from the name someone gave that motel —- Executive Inn Motel — I wonder how many executives actually stay there. Someone told me it’s a hooker motel.
