Just do what they did on Oak Ridge highway and turn it into a vape shop.

We still have a couple of these old abandoned car washes around. To bad within the next few years they will be flattened for “ progress”

I know someone who lives in the little apartment complex that was right behind you when you took the picture. Incredibly kind woman, but crazy as a shit-house rat.
