Let's get the Arizona police to come and check to see if those "suspicious-appearing" people are here legally.
The funniest part of the piece I read was "Riverdale is for the rich and famous." If anyone knows people from Riverdale, 5% are rich, .01% are famous, and the other 95% are regular people just glomming onto the rich/famous and their neighborhood.
And for the record, Riverdale has changed equally as much as Kingsbridge and neighboring communities over the past 40 years. It would be pretty scary if it hadn't.
