4:45 pm
to take advantage of extra things one of the unique businesses that has been able to been a steadfast place to look to and home with i think they're you know at least fifteen years old and mr a mr bundy has been there you know making. making those donuts for for kids to make sure that they have food before they went to school for four generations upon generations so even in those situations where if mom and dad couldn't take care of kids knew that they could go to the bakery and grab a donut or grab something to make sure that they had so food in order to get through today so. i don't know how they did it but they found a way to to be a constant presence in that neighborhood despite what has gone.
4:46 pm
oh and they were there good or bad you know i don't have any complaints we're home over here. with their neighbor or lives here and there are some bridges are everywhere barrier i don't see any new businesses come in right now a couple big companies k.f.c. . from way maybe meet their quota here whatever company calls for you know they've been gone for you know five six years you know i thought long they've been out of here. you know. that's just a tough par in a round the guns in murders that take place right out avenues one of the busiest roads in western pennsylvania is one of the longest and straightest rows so people ride from the a fluent neighborhoods out on the side of western pennsylvania and they ride through hollywood through traffic every single day to go to work which is crazy if you go on a news it'll say you know somebody got murdered in the home of
4:47 pm
a so it's not a place that you want to pull over and stop and maybe grab a donna and coffee rather than the same traffic. you know. we've got here is the most number one ballots you know most one of the capital murder. something's not so great. to talk about your food and how will it impact because you thought hostages thought it was sixty dollars thought it was thought it was sixteen out of the gas saw you know how it all enough to sell a food amount so make a living now was that. while the slave say it's all we got what was feast i was actually so what. is fun that's. so the big committee guy think about it everybody cuts ahead and want to cut their head which it sounds to. all

4:49 pm
a situation to almost be murdered in two thousand and eleven as a result of that experience that's when i made the decision to start doing what i do what i did it was a basketball team start to focus more on my basketball career. basketball it's a competition with yourself. you have to conquer yourself. it's a game where you have to learn to share and play with your teammates and more importantly compete against the other team as well as the environment. when people think about the ball they don't look at it in that aspect where you break it down because it's a personal battle it's a battle of monks your team and other people. it's about almost you and the environment. it's a game of skill it's a game of aggression. and physicality where you're forced to cripple your foolish.
4:50 pm
forced to do a lot of things that people take for granted and every day. is that that passion that i've been able to maintain from my childhood and carry over into my adulthood is what us allowed to be so much different than everybody else and create an opportunity where people say we could work to find other children in the father's neighborhoods primarily in homes where i started up as marble it's to teach them how to harness that energy and maintain that energy into their adulthood so then they can continue like i said to do some of the things that i'm it's not take it further and further and further.
4:51 pm
