The Fry’s grocery store at Tatum & Shea installed shade covers in their parking lot last week – a great solution to the Parking Lot Shade Tree question I posed last summer. It still leaves me with 3 unanswered questions:
1. Is this a competitive advantage? In other words, would you drive a little further to shop at a store with covered parking? (at least until the next store down the street offers the same thing!)
2. If more stores did this, would you be willing to put a quarter in a meter in exchange for having more covered parking around town? (I would.)
3. Why aren’t these shades covered with solar panels, and then why aren’t there more solar-panel-covered-parking structures scattered across town?!
You can read the rules for a Moving Stills post and learn how the series came to be by reading my initial post in the series – Moving Stills 1.
Your likes the shade but is disappointed by not adding solar Realtor,
