No wait, very helpful and pleasant people, fast service

This city has turned into an awful place. The roads are horrific and let’s talk about this mayor who ran on a campaign of affordable housing?!? That makes me laugh looking at rents in this once family friendly city. This is what happens when you vote someone in who isn’t actually from here. Vote her out.

This city sucks! Good place to get good deliver orders but parking enforcement sucks! No parking spots available for delivery drivers, anywhere you park quick you’ll get a ticket. Drivers should quit working in this area, for real.

Had to go pay excise taxes and get an abatement. The front desk employee was incredibly pleasant and helpful. Had a wonderful interaction with her and it made for an easy and no-stress visit.
