HAHAHAA this one is funny!!!!

I've actually gone in there....and did you know it was run by Argentinians?

Great place btw.



Is that the store that has a big gorilla on the front? and the guy is always yelling to come in?

What the heck is in that store? I've always wondered but i never have enough time to go in and investigate.
