All though I use Advanced Auto, there as frequent as the Seven Elevens.<br /><br />Overall Annandale is getting to appear as if it is now the forgotten step child taking anything it can get.

It with that comes the garbage, trash and crime that are typically associated with a critical mass of discount retail in high concentration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-79341281437216396342013-02-07T09:41:32.980-05:002013-02-07T09:41:32.980-05:00I suspect most upper class (and quite a few middle...I suspect most upper class (and quite a few middle class) folks get their cars serviced professionally, and so rarely venture into an auto parts store.<br /><br />OTOH movie rental places are doomed by digital distribution.
