Absolutely horrible news!
This time last year there was a sink hole in the alleyway in this exact spot.
If an explosion didn’t cause this maybe that sink hole has opened up again
Just wondered if instructor Rudy Pavletich lived in the above apartment over his karate school and is he okay?
Probably deserved it!😅
Karma. For wat Rudy did to me in 1975. Pull me off a school bus put me in your car. Cracked me with a chop to the chest. Drop me off at the end of my block saying now I no where u live kid. You know I’m speaking the truth rudy.
