Yuck! We’ve learned that an out-of-state company wants to open an oil-change megashop in the spot that used to be Shell on the Southeast corner of McClintock and Warner. What could be more lame?
Plus, all the noise, congestion, and fumes that come with an auto shop. Nope!
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD – NO OIL MEGASHOP!
