	Report Comment rememberme?, (9/24/2009 10:02:51 AM) what a shame. Between this and the Mays Bros building something needs to be done to protect these gems.
	Report Comment Ryanoceros, Tulsa (9/24/2009 10:46:02 AM) This better not be the result of yet another meth lab.
	Report Comment T.B'Ville, Bruins (9/24/2009 4:43:38 PM) I bet it has something to do with meth.
