If George was a witness to the events on the evening of Oct 28th, I would really like to hear from him…please contact me at pjhpi@scattercreek.com
I was at the Tower Tavern last night when those two girls walked in… they didn’t seem to be doing anything wrong when I was there, just having their drinks and chatting with each other. There were other problems, though… a couple of drunken idiots were in there trying to start fights….
Ah, a lovely Wednesday night on the town!
