Coming to Westfield Newmarket.

I’m an absolute sucker for Cinnabons and make it my mission to have one if I’m ever in the states. I will say that the mini Costco ones have been good to tie me over but nothing beats the real deal.

I'm guessing the author doesn't know the difference between a BB gun and a pellet gun/air rifle, because I doubt a BB would reliably kill a pigeon.

Looking at the photos, it definitely looks like a body from a distance, I don't blame anyone for making that mistake.
