You must be buying some of those drugs. Roxborough isn't even close to becoming Kensington.

Joey. Kids buy and sell drugs in every single town in this country. Rich towns, poor towns, urban and rural - drugs are EVERYWHERE. And If YOU have kids, odds are that they are getting high. Kids like to get high. It's nothing new. You and Hymie are ignorant morons for even suggesting that Roxborough's is ANYTING like Kenso beacause a ONE bag of percocet was snached. Do you even live here?
