Michelangelo "Appetizer Maximus" S.'s Profile

"Get off my lawn!" - Running away from the Neighbors

I'm the kid snooping around on your front lawn, overturning your well placed "rock garden" rocks looking for worms and beetles. You're the homeowner coming after me with your rake - or garden hose as it juices up - to get me to ski-daddle. As with most places I randomly "hide-out in", just passing by the time, there really is nothing in common between them, other than being just a random string of "hide-outs". So in the lovely Lake City & Northgate Hoods, these are the places I will "duck & cover" until the coast is clear again...... (Coast clear! Come on, slow poke! Time to move!)
