I was unfamiliar with the Robbie D. Wood company, but it appears they are truckers who specialize in "hazardous waste transportation and chemical product transportation", and they are still in business.

It's not entirely clear when they left this Pineview Road location, but I have one indication that the site sold in April 2025. However it appears to be back on the market now, with a real estate sign which appears to correspond to this listing. The property is pretty deep, definitely much larger than it appears from the front.

(Hat tip to commenter Gypsie)

UPDATE 25 November 2025: Commenter Gypsie points out that it was actually commenter Badger who called out this closing. I blame it on my fingers: Bad fingers!

This is another place I had meant to go by in the daytime, but I was there when I was..

The Ape Hanger was the leftmost of the three very similar buildings in this little hardluck plaza on Two Notch a bit east of Fontaine. It was the followup operation to The Bargain Warehouse.

From what I can tell, they were a moped, motorcycle and ATV store. The Bargain Warehouse signage was still up late in 2011, so apparently they opened in 2012, and their last Facebook posting is 20 November 2012, so I'm going to say they closed early in 2013.
