Texas actually prefers jobs that have no insurance, pays low wages and pollutes the environment it's what conservative stand for

One went up next to a neighborhood I was visiting. I felt so bed for the residents. Car washes are popping up everywhere. It seems to be the newest scam.

My hunch is that they're popping up all over the country. Make sure to protest if one is planned next to you. The one that is making the tons of noise is "The Bubble Bath". It replaced a bank.
