    Fix your own backyard.

  • I wonder how they get electricity in there?............are they skimming electricity out of the grid system some how?

  • @hfytr65 i can sense your sarcasm!

  • @machogun Exactly. So many buildings that are still good for use go abandoned just because some prick wants to create his own building. If only people would stop expanding and just make use of what is available, like these people have.

  • @icemanguitar

    convenience store

  • What is a "Bodega"?

  • @hfytr65 LOL, good stuff man, so true.

  • As an American I feel that- Wait, they have oil and poor living conditions? TIME FOR AN INVASION OF FREEDOM!
