The long vacant, former landmark that was Chuck E. Cheese in Macon, GA, has been given a second chance at life as a new business.

Gerber Collision Auto Body and Glass has been approved to move into the property, with potential to open up new jobs for 15 to 18 workers.

Wrecked cars will be reportedly hidden from the view of commuters behind an 8-foot privacy fence to keep from turning the spot into even more of an eyesore.

As far as noise is concerned, a representative of Gerber Collision assured county commissioners the evolution of the auto body repair industry has cut down on the "beating of metal" sounds that come to mind.

Salaries for employees of the new body shop are expected to make between $30,000 and $90,000 per year.
