Auto Paint and Body Works, or Johnston's Garage

...is famous in the area for the random figurines on the building.
A lot has been taken down in the past 14 years. The article below
tells why. The original owner of the shop retired, and the shop is
threatened by potential highway expansion. The highway expansion
has been postponed (just learned it in the Washington Post), but
it's probably just a matter of time.

Sigh. And people wonder why I want to leave this area? You get to
love something, and they tear it down. The bastards.
