Powers bicycle
A perp knocked a cyclist off his wheels on Powers Street and took his cash on Feb. 20.

Hypocrites.

Mr B if you can delete my last post that would be great.
“where is Biff? was there some coup and overthrown by Cgar and his subversive forces?”
Biff is away, but on his way back. I’m not the one who tried to overthrow him, that was the Chinaman Brownie Whore.
