What the yard on Patterson Road actually looks like.

None of what follows is staged. These are photos of the actual shopfront, yard, counter and waiting area at 328 Patterson Rd in Joliet, the same building the counter has worked out of since 1989. A used auto parts yard does not really have a finished-job portfolio. What is here is what the place looks like if you drove up right now.
