Heading to South Carolina for my next job. Always a new adventure on the horizon.👍😊
An honest black man being honest about black problems or is he?
All I remember about him is that he played for Michigan State.
Nashville is a dumpster fire now.
Exploding property tax rates, traffic nightmares akin to California, and pro sport franchise with insane ticket prices.
Nashville is dying from urban socialism.
