Its around the sign which says exit to 529. The dip keeps getting "dippier" on a weekly basis. Wouldn't surprise me if a major accident happens due to this. There was a sign a few weeks ago warning of a dip. But that sign is gone.

Passed by it a few times by BW8 and Hammerly. Didn't know what it was, so I looked it up. Looks like an anime inspired clothing and lifestyle store. Anyone been to it? They look like they have gone all in, fancy sign, wraps on cars, and their website shows pics from a couple of events.

The WeebStop

They should have opened this next to a Japanese grocery store, then that would be the ultimate anime lifestyle stop.
