"I give this 4 stars as it was always amusing, but this place is currently not the same without the lovely and fun Renee Ann Evers, as long as she's living, hence I provided the pictures to illustrate. Heck, 1 time I even got to tell her about how I rejected another event JUST TO SEE HER. The time she had the pearly gloves on, to be exact, is when I shared how JUST TO SEE HER, I rejected another event as cold as Johnny Depp rejecting a role in the movie "Mars Attacks!" There may be plenty of fish in the sea, but NONE like her, as long as she's living. Not nobody, not know how. This place should also bring back Founder's Day, which is when I will then give this 5 stars! Please bring back Founders Day here."
