Not for nothing, but I am a healthy and swift 32 year old woman, and I would NEVER cross Jericho Tpk in that area!

What the heck were these 2 older people doing??? And wasn't there any parking at Testarossa???

This is so sad.....

prob no parking bc when i went there a few weeks ago the lot is all torn up bc they are fixing or expanding something!
