I have a thing for disused gas stations. The weeds growing through cracks in the pavement. The broken windows. And, of course, the junk trucks. There are a lot of dead convenience stores around here. Bear says it's because anymore gas is too expensive for people to buy. I guess if you run on a narrow margin anyway, being a storekeeper out in the middle of nowhere, that's true. Cheapest gas in the area? You got that right: Walmart.

  1. We may not agree on God, guns and cats, but we do see eye to eye on gas stations.

    The one still down the road open?

  3. @CBA The one down the street is open as an "antique shop". No gas. Just Pepsi. And a beautiful old old gas stove (30s?) that I crave.
    @Bo My brother had a classic T-bird like that. Thank god it's now lawn sculpture or he'd still be poring cash money into it.
