He forced The Black Rose out just as he did so many other businesses. Croman has his goons remove the boiler from the basement so that there was no heat and no gas to cook on to keep the business going. Then comes the water leaks, filthy water raining down on customers. <br /><br />We all look forward to seeing Croman behind bars, but that will never make up for the countless lives he has completely destroyed. <br />Jail is too good a place for the likes of Croman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-51659138604077685432017-04-29T15:36:46.822-04:002017-04-29T15:36:46.822-04:00That's fine, except they didn't play very ...That's fine, except they didn't play very much Rock n' Roll there - there was far more EDM & Hip Hop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-64386173141430360512017-04-28T09:52:02.030-04:002017-04-28T09:52:02.030-04:00Btw this thing was lame.
