Born and raised locally... Here's my options... There seems to always be construction on the roads đ§đď¸, plus often events causing road blocks.

One man walking towards me has his pants down to his thighs with his genitals completely exposed. Another guy was vomiting all over the sidewalk. And those were just the 2 more extreme. Just maybe don't wear your designer items...
