00:00:02 Kevin
Hey gang, Kevin here, Life22.
00:00:04 Kevin
And we're, I'm not one to ruin a small business owner's, you know, chance at their ribbon cutting ceremony, but, you know, that's on the same premise that your business is legitimate and legal, right?
00:00:21 Kevin
It's not like, you know, those contractors that don't have insurance and things like that, those are not small businesses.
00:00:27 Kevin
To a degree they are, but they're not small businesses.
00:00:30 Kevin
The same way as a person selling drugs.
00:00:32 Kevin
If a person is selling drugs in my neighborhood, yes, they are a small business, but no, I'm not going to help promote them.
00:00:38 Kevin
I'm not going to help them sign up for the SBA.
00:00:41 Kevin
Okay?
00:00:42 Kevin
So with that, we have a package for our friend Adonis.
00:00:49 Kevin
It's a Bible.
00:00:50 Kevin
We'll be posting this gift to Adonis on the Where the Sirens Aren't Facebook group.
00:00:59 Kevin
My beautiful camerawoman here is going to film me delivering it.
00:01:10 Kevin
And so if you know what the Kingsman Club is, I'm pulling up to it now.
00:01:14 Kevin
And there's just a lot of people coming and going in this place.
00:01:21 Kevin
So here we go.
00:01:27 Kevin
No parking here to corner.
00:01:33 Kevin
My beautiful wife's gonna film this out the window.
00:02:59 Kevin
All right, gang, we're gonna go back home.
00:03:02 Kevin
So, I went to the door.
00:03:06 Kevin
You should start getting a body cam.
00:03:08 Kevin
The body cam is a good investment.
00:03:10 Kevin
So, I went to the door.
00:03:14 Kevin
A very pleasant lady answered it.
00:03:16 Kevin
She was African-American.
00:03:18 Kevin
She seemed to be a little disoriented.
00:03:20 Kevin
She had a...
00:03:22 Kevin
baseball cap on.
00:03:23 Kevin
It looked like her boyfriend's New York Yankees windbreaker jacket.
00:03:29 Kevin
And I said, Hey, I'm dropping this off for Adonis.
00:03:33 Kevin
Because I was.
00:03:34 Kevin
Because I had a gift for him.
00:03:37 Kevin
Nothing dangerous.
00:03:38 Kevin
I mean, dangerous in terms of it's a Bible.
00:03:42 Kevin
It's a Bible.
00:03:42 Kevin
We bought a bunch of Bibles so that we could...
00:03:46 Kevin
I don't know, we pretty much threw everything at the drug house in our neighborhood that I don't...
00:03:52 Kevin
I don't know what else we could have done.
00:03:54 Kevin
So we bought a bunch of Bibles and it burnt down before we could get a chance to give them out.
00:03:58 Kevin
So he was the first.
00:04:00 Kevin
So at his new location, or his cousin's new location, or his friend from Buffalo's new location.
00:04:06 Kevin
We'll break this down in a future video.
00:04:08 Kevin
So our buddy Adonis is...
00:04:12 Kevin
I dropped the package off for him.
00:04:14 Kevin
Nice to know.
00:04:15 Kevin
We'll have all the pictures on the Facebook group and on our Facebook page.
00:04:20 Kevin
So, good old Adonis, yup, he got a gift from me.
00:04:23 Kevin
Very cryptic, I guess.
00:04:25 Kevin
It sends a stern message, you know.
00:04:29 Kevin
Like, listen, we don't appreciate your small business.
00:04:33 Kevin
We don't appreciate the fact that you're making tens of thousands of dollars a day at 109 West Green Street.
00:04:39 Kevin
That you were making thousands and tens of thousands of dollars a day at 311 North 6th Street before it burnt down.
00:04:49 Kevin
Now all your old clients are driving or walking there, staggering through, driving their shopping carts there to scavage the building like the old carcass of a building is a fallen airplane in that scene from World of War where they dismantle the thing in days?
00:05:10 Kevin
Hours?
00:05:11 Kevin
Anyways, that's, yeah, so I don't think...
00:05:15 Kevin
That's something the city should kind of promote, I guess, for old abandoned buildings.
00:05:19 Kevin
Because God forbid it falls down and takes out a crackhead.
00:05:22 Kevin
But that said, dance music didn't look too busy, but then again, it's their first day.
00:05:28 Kevin
It's the ribbon cutting.
00:05:29 Kevin
I didn't actually see too many people out front cutting the ribbon.
00:05:34 Kevin
You know, small businesses, they should have reached out to the mayor's office at 11 o'clock at night.
00:05:39 Kevin
Well, that's what happens when you're a bar.
00:05:41 Kevin
I mean, you don't do your ribbon cutting at nine o'clock in the morning, it makes you look like a real depressing bar if you're
00:05:47 Kevin
ribbon cutting at 9 a.m.
00:05:48 Kevin
and people are just lined up.
00:05:50 Kevin
But I guess at the Smack Shack.
00:05:55 Kevin
So I don't even know.
00:05:56 Kevin
Is there a name for this bar that they're opening?
00:05:59 Kevin
I've been calling it the Crack Shack, but I have not even heard of it.
00:06:03 Kevin
Yeah, so apparently at this bar, you can't pay cash.
00:06:06 Kevin
You can't.
00:06:07 Kevin
You may be able to trade drugs.
00:06:09 Kevin
You can't pay cash.
00:06:12 Kevin
You're not supposed to bring, you're not supposed to exchange money on site.
00:06:16 Kevin
You are supposed to just Cash App them money.
00:06:18 Kevin
And then this way there is, there is no exchange of money.
00:06:23 Kevin
At least that's the theory behind it.
00:06:25 Kevin
But, so, I don't know if that little lady was gonna let me in there.
00:06:32 Kevin
So I guess I, I don't know.
00:06:34 Kevin
I'm also not wearing a vest right now.
00:06:39 Kevin
And there was,
00:06:42 Kevin
You know, it's one of those things.
00:06:43 Kevin
So we're keeping an eye on you, Adonis.
00:06:46 Kevin
We know where you are.
00:06:47 Kevin
We know where you operate.
00:06:49 Kevin
Don't think that...
00:06:52 Kevin
Geez, what's this?
00:06:54 Kevin
128 North 11th Street?
00:06:56 Kevin
Don't think that we don't know where you're operating out of in the buildings that you own.
00:07:01 Kevin
This particular building is owned by your buddy, Dominique.
00:07:04 Kevin
Dominique Williams.
00:07:05 Kevin
If you put a couple of these buildings in your cousin's name, Malik Bernie,
00:07:11 Kevin
So just, you know, it is what it is.
00:07:16 Kevin
And we'll catch everybody next time.
00:07:18 Kevin
Life22, if you happen to see the comings and goings, we are the Neighborhood Watch.
00:07:23 Kevin

00:07:30 Kevin
