I’m still without power what is going on
I have no more energy
Avondale is a shitty city, at 4:00 pm on Wednesday the electricity went out and as always we are the last to restore services. I bought a house here, if I got to know that the electricity always goes out, I would never have bought a house here. I do not recommend anyone to buy in this area ever, it sucks ...
