      @@nightshade8445 Check the arrests. During the summer BLM protests were taking place, there was a massive uptick in whites from outside of the protests traveling in to cause violence and mayhem.
      My hunch is they were trying to discredit the protests. The records are public, if you're not afraid to do the research.

    Really great food. Have been going there for decades. I think what's hurting them is the parking situation. Last couple of times I tried to stop in there was no open spots. The time before that I think the tiny side lot was shut down for construction. If they still had a place open in Richfield I would be stopping in more often. Hope business gets better for them. Will try to stop in at a time when I don't have to park two blocks away.

      You can section off your house from the business. Many houses are right next to business zones. But cities like Minneapolis and liberal shitholes don't permit people to run businesses out of their home generally because of zoning restrictions.
