Old School Bus Update
November 18, 2021
We are still in search of a space to construct the inside of our bus. With winter upon us, a large indoor space would be best, but if not we are happy to take an outdoor space. We have been on the hunt for some time now so please contact us if you know of a business that would be willing to donate us an indoor space until the end of March. City Wide is doing the final touches on the painting, and inspection as we speak.
