It’s a gorgeous area.

That’s where my house was prior to moving to NJ and in with my husband. It’s a wonderful community.

Thank you!

I hope they catch whomever pulled the hoax. Nothing funny about the topic or to joke/prank about.

They literally JUST moved in, etc. there for the new school year. I don’t know if classes have really even started yet for everyone.

And parents and family are on campus. Someone had access to the text app. They hopefully can get to the bottom of it.

Not to worry. It’s America. I’m sure there’s another one going on.
