But according to some of the reviews it appears that the car wash was sold in early 2018, and that the new management didn’t seem able (or willing) to maintain the formerly high standards. When the car wash started out they received rave reviews: people seemed to love their product and, more importantly, their service. I did a little checking on the internet and although I didn’t find anything that indicated why they’ve closed, their Yelp reviews tell an interesting story.

From what I can see by peering into the windows, the place has been emptied out. This waterless car wash (they used their own product, which you can buy on the internet) seems to have quietly closed up shop. It ended up being something of a loop, and as it turns out the places I investigated were mostly ones that are sitting empty. I assembled a list of places I wanted to go, and then chose from that list places that I could logically string together into a single walk.

Fortunately, I keep a close eye on the weather forecasts and knew that might be the case, so I planned accordingly. Because of this week’s weather I was limited to a single walk this week.
