    Congratulation, apparently enough trash has been thrown down, enough piss on the ground that Walmart has closed the truck parking lot in Winslow Arizona. They have big concrete barriers up across the drive way. So much for shopping there

    May be that reason, or like in Springfield the city started fining for trucks being allowed to park when they were not zoned for it.

    But yeah stores don't stop it until it becomes to expensive to have them. A word of warning to those parking in Jasper Tn. New manager is getting upset about the garbage. If you see someone trashing the place I would say something before they ban all trucks again.

    I doubt that's Walmart's property. I imagine the city had to have it shut off. Maybe somebody bought the property and is getting ready to start site-work.

    I can remember stopping in there when it was a thriving truck stop.
     
    Steel Dragon Thanks this.

    Looking at google maps there is truck stop next door anyways that is closer than the front parking lot.

    Google Maps


    Shows a carls jr where the trucks are parked. Maybe they are building one?

    All I know is there was always garbage all over the ground every time with that not so sweet smell in the air.

    They had a good sized sign at the road that said truck parking, so I always thought it was theirs
     
    Steel Dragon Thanks this.

    The laundromat adjacent was a good place to wash laundry. About the cheapest place I've ever known of and the machines were always in good working order.
     
    Steel Dragon and rabbiporkchop Thank this.

    Im sorry to hear that. There is nothing I can tell to a industry of dirty crappy drivers intent on wearing out their welcome with piss and trash.

    I should invent a bottle that can’t be peed in and then lobby Congress to mandate every drink maker use my patented bottle.
