Unreal.. Please invest in Escambia FL The history and story of Poach Creek Indians is incredible.
When I was growing up the only people with money in Poarch had a pulp wood truck. Talk about a redistribution of wealth, wow!
Wow! I didn’t think the Pennsylvania-Dutch-Amish gambled that much. What’s this world coming to?
