The most rude Useless people I've ever encountered

This building hasn't changed at all. Affordable health care.

I told them about Vinnys Italian Grill cutting up a deer, lake fish and chickens in the basement and they did nothing. Didn't even close them down. Told them about raw meat left out over night and people getting food poison there still nothing has happened. Guess Bedford County likes to have wild game in their restaurants.

I'd give the staff more stars if they were available. A special call out to Michelle, she was patient, compassionate, and professional with my dad. As he has difficulty walking, I especially appreciate her coming carside to read his test results and faxing his results for us. Thank you for being so awesome! Bless you!
