Trott's Spot sacked
Former Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter's car wash, Trott's Spot The Ritz (401 Haddonfield-Berlin Road), in Voorhees, closed abruptly a few days back. Car accessories remain inside the shuttered shop, where a sign in the window reads that as of Oct. 3, "This property is now owned by The Bank."
