Castle Car Wash - Closed

As I drove past the castle-themed car wash recently, I was disappointed to find it shut down. The castle still stands, but the whimsical decor, primarily featuring large lawn ornaments, is gone. As I continued motoring I noticed a more modern car wash not far away. That one probably gets the job done, but certainly lacks the charm of the castle.

Didn't see Robin Hood there, but the car wash looks like a castle, and there is a big pink elephant out front.
