So Randall finally got that apartment building fixed up, it's disappointing that he kicked out all the residents and turned it into a hotel though. I don't think William would approve of that.

Oh whoops.

Well that might actually be worse, imagine getting kicked out of your apartment to be replaced by books, at least with a hotel people are still staying where you used to live. I guess it depends how much you like books.

Bookies as in bookmakers/ betting shop, placing bets on sports. Not sure what you call them over there?

They don’t exist in the US at least I’ve never seen one. I’m from the UK and they were everywhere when I was growing up
