OkieEric Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm sure only those folks in the area will care, but that eyesore of a car wash at 2007 W Alabama is finally gone! It kinda creeped me out, as there always seemed to be a few people just sort of hanging out in the parking lot at night... Anyway, there are a couple of permits listed for the address for a new building and a washateria build out. Found some additional info here - shows 5000 sq ft with a 3000 sq ft washateria. Hard to get excited about a washateria, but it sure beats what was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidegate Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 That section of W Alabama, with the exception of the Ice House, is bleehhh, and the blehness of a washeteria is admirably suited to it. Bleh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washaterias are good places to pick up women, so I'm excited about that.BTW, I was one of those people that just sort of hung out at the car wash... Wuz up?

OkieEric Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 BTW, I was one of those people that just sort of hung out at the car wash... Wuz up?I'm not talking about people washing cars. If you were one of those who just hung around late at night in the dark there...well, then sorry for your loss. I'm happy to see it go... Maybe we'll get another massage parlor out if it - lord knows we need a few more in the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. j/kAnyway, I'm not holding my breath to see what Hollywood comes up with...though I wonder if it will somehow incorporate the existing structure? Either way, I'm sure I'll hate the color scheme/signageOT, but is there ever anyone at TK Bitterman's? I haven't been there in a couple of years and it never seems to have many cars there... I had a good time there but I always seem to wind up at the ice house instead Edited January 26, 2010 by OkieEric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidegate Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Neighbourhood bar...doesn't really need much in the way of parking. I'm the same, if I had to choose between the two it would be the IceHouse, lack of liquor notwithstanding.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I wonder what will happen to Brian Stringer's buildings now? They're for sale just down the road a bit towards Shepherd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacotruck Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) Every time I washed my car there I was accosted by aggressive panhandlers. They didn't seem to get that you pay by the minute at those places, and I didn't want to stop and listen to their pitch. The machines never worked anyway. I'm pretty sure it was a mafia front (car washes are great for laundering money) Edited January 27, 2010 by tacotruck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
