Even when you get visitors as pets all kinds of Roaches visiting your room from the room next door that lives there like a tweeker. But I'm good . There's a gas station across the street and they have great coffee and also very good and freshly made chicken . You eat there or take out. Nice and friendly servers. Nice people.
