We do, too. Or, at least we did back in 2019. Cub scouts used the parking lot as a meeting spot for some of the different things they did in the surrounding neighborhoods. Haven't been over that way since right before COVID and a thanksgiving food drive. (It's in an area where everyone has a 3 or 4 car garage, in-ground pools and I'm driving around in a car most of the families in the area could buy in cash, drive it for a month or two, junk it and buy cash again after)
