\u201cWe won\u2019t be building anything on the site for some time so I thought I\u2019d put my feelers out to see if any local small business would like to do a pop up shop on the site anytime soon, over Christmas, over Easter, etc.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will have a nice small fence put in and fake grass with power and water on site.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he, his wife Taryn and daughter Coco wanted to thank everyone \u201cwho reached out to help us through this tough time\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really do appreciate the support and everything everyone offered to do for us and help us.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police have also been very good and an arrest won\u2019t be far away.\u201d<\/p>\n
