A yellow pole at the south side of the Walmart Supercenter parking lot in Pittsburg that became notorious after multiple collisions with it by vehicles driving through the lot was removed August 21, the day after it was hit yet again. It remains unclear whether the pole will be relocated or permanently removed from the lot. Before its removal the Pittsburg Walmart pole, bent out of shape after numerous collisions, developed a cult following. A Twitter account, @pole_walmart, and two Facebook groups — “Pole of shame / Pittsburg walmart,” with well over 1,000 members, and “Pittsburg Walmart Pole,” with more than 6,000 — were created in dedication to the pole.
