I actually have beach volleyball today in the exact opposite direction after work, but I just might be crazy enough...

This was a real "hash 'n dash" (tm). I left work and drove "Em" to the point, snapped a couple shots, then drove into the city. I missed only a couple minutes of beach volleyball, but I blame that more on the parking.

The unused store was right beside a vibrant mechanic's shop, so I wonder why it was no longer in use? Perhaps a horrible accident? Rent must be cheap, it could make a good lab, depending on the electrical service amp rating. Hmmm...

This was a real "hash 'n dash" (tm). I left work and drove "Em" to the point, snapped a couple shots, then drove into the city. I missed only a couple minutes of beach volleyball, but I blame that more on the parking.

The unused store was right beside a vibrant mechanic's shop, so I wonder why it was no longer in use? Perhaps a horrible accident? Rent must be cheap, it could make a good lab, depending on the electrical service amp rating. Hmmm...
