I have to say that the mascots for AAA Automotive<\/i> are a pretty rough looking bunch. The middle one reminds me of a buffed up version of the boss elf from Rudolph<\/i>, the one that didn't want Herbie to be a dentist.<\/p>\n

I see various versions of the Goodyear<\/i> name when googling this Triangle City address at the corner of 12th Street & D Avenue in West Columbia including the version I used, Goodyear Auto Service Center<\/i>, as well as Goodyear Tire & Rubber<\/i> and Goodyear Gemini Auto Care<\/i>. Mr. Shine<\/i> seems to have been a carwash operation, and during either the Goodyear<\/i> or AAA<\/i> days the place apparently rented U-Haul<\/i> trailers as well.<\/p>\n

It appears that the building was on the market at one point, but LoopNet<\/a> says that's no longer the case, and indeed the real-estate sign out front offers to lease rather than sell.<\/p>\n
