Ahem...Ladies n Gentlemen...may I have your attention please...there's a story to be told...SC is not for NDNs...or any minority for that matter...how silly of this gullible gurl to actually believe it could be different...I had a dream, a vision, a plan...n it didn't work out....besides the obvious racism ...I was going thru some other things...n it was one of the most heart breaking n devastating times of my life...I mean u really think u know someone n when u find out the truth...the real truth...it is crushing to ur soul...n of course I was raised to NEVER ALLOW ANYBODY TO TREAT U ANY KIND OF WAY...n to never ever take s**t from anyone no matter who they are...n so I responded in kind...it was a hard truth this NDN had to deal with on her own...because of course nobody is gonna believe the NDN...nobody. Not even my own family...well not at first anyway...took them awhile but once they saw the truth...they understood my actions n for me...thats all I needed...however it didnt change the damage to my business n it didnt change how the rest of the world viewed me...but I didnt care n I still dont care...
But I do care about the bulls**t n the shunning from the Good Ol Boys Club cuz thats where it hurt me the most...n that is why South Bottomz “La Barra” has closed its doors permanently...n I want all those haters n all those MEN to know they did not beat me n this is not a win for them...there r other things in the works...and as they all KNOW this NDN ain't afraid of anyone or anything n I will face anything head on n let it know I am comin for em...I am proud of the 3.5 years we were open n i am happy n grateful for the experience it has given me...I have learned so much...n I would not change one single moment...cuz I did it...I defied the odds n opened a bar in the Sewer n made it 3.5 years!!! N I would still be open if I had a man beside me...cuz a single woman esp a single NDN woman owning her own business in SC goes against the norm...it is not how it is supposed to be...n it scares the fxk outta them GOBs...as it should...but I did it!!! All by myself n if they weren't so afraid of me then they wouldn't have tried so hard to close me down...but they cheated to win...they had to cheat to beat me!!! N who wants to count that as a win??? I sure dont. But they do...lol n thats ok cuz it took all of YOU to cheat to beat me...this NDN gurl from the rez...mwahahhahahaa n that in and of itself is the absolute best WIN FOR ME!!! I have gained knowledge n insight that is pricelss...n they can never take that away from me...and so I would call it a "tie". Yall didnt beat me n i didnt beat you but remember I didnt cheat...you did. N now yall were scared before...u ain't seen nothing YET.
In closing I would like to thank all of our loyal customers n fans that supported us and I would esp like to thank my Saturday pool team Glen Marshall n "my guys" for choosing us from the beginning n sticking it out with us regardless of everything...I am forever grateful n indebted to you guys...mwah!!! Kisses n hugs from me!!! And let's not forget the most important customer ever...ROCKY Rocky Tafolla Tafolla!!! WE LOVE YOU ROCKY N THANK U FOR EVERYTHING!!! N all those other bars better be grateful he is in your bar now cuz if I was still open...he wouldn't be!!! Lol Last but not least thank you Crystal Ann Ford and her husband for always including us in your leagues n showing us mad love!!! And everybody else who just stopped in or came by and spent a dollar with us...thank you so much!!!
And u know what??? I wanna also thank those cheatin GOBs too cuz yall taught me a thing or 2 about something n for that yall should be very very afraid....lmao until next time this is South Bottomz Bars Former Owner n Creator who made it across the viaduct to the other side n lived to tell it...signing off one last time,
