    New gas station

    I believe this was the work of our towns conservation society.
    Nobody was working to ask. Any way just thought it was neat.

    That's more than neat - it is like stepping back in time to my childhood. I do hope that it is a working gas station rather than just for show.

    Regards

    Oh, look at that - no tens digit on the amount of sale, and no dollar digit on the price!

    Good Lord!! I used to have a Gulf credit card. One of my early childhood memories is the Mobil flying red horse. Thought that was so cool when we stopped for gas.

    .42/gallon... oh that it could be so again, eh. Although I remember a "gas war" during my college days when the price between two stations went to .19/gal.
    Thanks for sharing the pics!
