    I love to visit the sites of old service stations around the countryside - always seems to be ghosts of a wonderful past.

    Love the old gas stations! Two pumps, one "reg'lar" and one "high test." I'd guess the pump by the front window might have been diesel or kerosene. Either way, I'll bet the local fire chief was none too happy to have flammables that close to the structure. 
    Great post, John W Poynton!
