I agree with Dr. fallen. :D

Who are those people standing there? And WHY in the love of all that is decayed did someone write "BEANS" on that window? I thought it said BRAINS at first and I had a really cool Zombie Apocolypse comment all ready, but then I looked again, and I thought "BEANS?" what the HECK?

Maybe it is a hobo menu? Hmmm...what is the psychology on that one Dr. fallen? :D
