I once went into a taco restaurant I'm quite sure was a money laundering operation. Empty place, one guy working there who didn't know how to work the register, not-good taco fixings spooned out of a lukewarm chafing dish and no sign of anything being cooked in the kitchen. I suppose I should be glad I didn't get food poisoning from it.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Our wings are not tired
There was a liquor store next to a theatre I used to work at here that we nick named the Russian Mafia Liquor Store because we were convinced it was a front.
It's still there. In fact the big condos that were build had to leave out one corner of the lot when they built so that this never busy store could remain.

We tried a few times to go to a Russian restaurant that was never open. Still not sure if it was, like, unlucky like me, or a front. still haven't had Russian food, though.
