WINONA, Minn. – We’ve all been there: You put your money in the machine and nothing happens. At the Gilmore Avenue car wash on the West End, unstaffed at 7:35 a.m., a Winona man drove in, put his money in the kiosk – and nothing happened. He swore, he kicked, then smashed the screen. It was all on video surveillance tape. The proprietor estimated the damage and loss of business the rest day at $3,000 to $4,000. Charges against the 56-year-old man were pending for criminal damage to property.
Gilmore Avenue car wash. At corner of 600 Clarks Lane.
