THE POP-UP CARWASH

So we were on our way home from work just driving along and we drove by the ghost area of Independence Dr., where all the stores used to be but are now just vacant buildings, and we saw a guy sitting in a lawn chair with a sign next to him for car wash. Behind the guy was a big white van with no windows and a trailer with a couple hundred gallon water tank on it. We did a double take and weren't sure what to think about it. So, the next day we drove by and this time, to our surprise, there was a car getting washed by the young fellow. Now, I wouldn't trust my little toy cars to this guy but seemed like he was doing okay for himself.

As it got closer to summer we started to notice more of these. It didn't matter what parking lot it was there was always a van/trailer/car wash in every lot. Finally, this phenomenon came to my works parking lot, only this guy was way smarter than any other guy we saw because he parked underneath a tree, so he was in the shade.BRILLIANT.

I think Charlotte might have more entrepreneur's than any other city I have ever been too. If your lucky, you can even find a pop up car wash that has a generator and a vacuum so the guy can vacuum out your car for you. I guess when it comes down to it, would you rather go to a reputable business car wash or would you rather help stimulate the economy by going to a mom and pop car wash...you make the decision.
