The Casa Vista Strip mall was a rather run down place. It was never a successful place and the shops there were always half empty.
Right now three dollar stores were operating there and a taco joint that was the most successful business that ever open there.
The rental company that managed the strip mall leased the parking lot out to a small carnival for a week.
It was a depressing cheap rundown carnival. There was a few old rides that were rusting and a couple of booths of games that no one seem to win at.
There was also a small refrigerated truck that was parked behind the game booths.
On the side of the old truck painted in bold colors was a picture of an alien monster.
In big letters over this picture: SEE THE CREATURE FROM OUTER SPACE!
The back doors of this truck were open and a plastic red curtain kept people from looking into the truck for free.
An unpainted wood ramp led up to this exhibit.
At the top of this ramp was a tall thin man with a long beard mixed with both black and gray hair. He was waiting for visitors to see his friend inside the truck.
