Now when they hold dances, food mysteriously disappears and people often trip and fall when nothing was in their path. Jordan Basile is seen at the new oven on August 16th (the date of his death) every 2 years making what appears to be lobster, which was his specialty.

The keys have been changed frequently.

Gotta love it, this place is right down the road from me & I haven't even heard of this one yet till now. Of course I don't generally find myself driving past it between Midnight & 3am, so I suppose that might have something to do w/ it.
