Serenity on Shrewsbury St

Some Days You’ve Got It, Others You F-ing Don’t!

Open Letter to Tow Companies…..
I understand that you are some of the most hated people by motorists just behind meter maids and somehow always have someplace really important to be. Don’t honk at me! Pause for a minute and think about it. We are on the same team. I hold no ill will toward you, in fact, I want…
