Boycott Pio Pio (Next to Mario's Pizza)

Arlington is famous for its quick-trigger towing. Be careful parking at Mario / Carnivals. Those businesses are great - but if you happen to park at Pio Pio next door there is a small sign that indicates not to park there - easily overlooked due to its location - you will be towed almost instantly. Someone is either there hiding in the bushes with a cell-phone, or parked across the street just waiting for innocent families. We went inside Carnival's with our two infants in tow, saw a sign once we were inside Carnvial about towing - before we even ordered - went outside to move the minivan, and it was already down the street - of course with back up bottles, diapers and blankets. The owner of Carnival said they put large signs on the outside of their building to warn their customers, but that somehow they are always mysteriously removed at night. That parking lot is a cash cow for the towing company. BOYCOTT PIO PIO for this awful business practice.

They had the same problem a few years ago at the little strip near Lee & Glebe. People were getting towed within minutes of parking in this lot. Warning signs were mysteriously disappearing... Until one day, a guy ordered some takeout from the one of the restaraunts. He parked in their lot, but went to a different store before he picked up his food. When he came out of that store, his car was towed. Unfortunately for the towing company, that guy was an assistant Commonwealth's Attorney. That was the end of the predatory towing at that lot.

Who knows from whence he came, and who knows where he goes, dot dot dot.

if you're eating at Mario's you deserve to get towed. Their food is awful.
