Car Wash<br />

LOCATION:<br />
Voorheesville, NY<br />
POPULATION: 2,800<br />
Once known as a rural farming<br />
village, Voorheesville was<br />
incorporated in 1869, and is now<br />
a thriving and quaint village.<br />
The first thing I noticed about Advanced Car<br />
Wash was its sheer beauty. If Main Street in<br />
Disney World or the set of a romantic comedy<br />
were to have a car wash, this would be it. It is<br />
bursting with charm and perfection.<br />
From overflowing flowering baskets succinctly<br />
pruned, to shining signage, to even<br />
awnings that would rival the pristineness of<br />
old school New York City aristocracy, it’s as<br />
if the car wash is not even real. As I pull in, I<br />
notice the shade trees and a friendly greeter<br />
who works at the car wash during the day.<br />
That greeter is the owner’s nephew, Chris.<br />
Timm, who is waiting there too, is excited for<br />
me to tour the property because it is one of<br />
the most beautiful times of year, thanks to the<br />
pretty landscaping.<br />
The car wash is in “small town America”<br />
– in fact, it is so quaint, when a truck drove<br />
by with a barking dog riding shotgun, Timm<br />
