This pole is quite famous. It's only at the Walmart in Auburn. For some reason, the poles at all the other Walmart locations don't have the force that this little pole does.

It's become a mystery that must be cracked! Why DO cars keep hitting the poles at the Auburn Walmart?

What if they changed the color of the pole? Maybe GREEN would stop them from hitting it!

In early June a lovely teacher from Auburn who passed away even included the infamous Auburn Walmart pole in her obituary!

Be careful. This pole obviously has an agenda and it's out to get your bumper, fender, and tire! As you travel to Walmart for the season - be careful OR try a different Walmart as the poles in Scarborough seem very well behaved!
