Too often I forget about using Yahoo Image search to find photos. Thanks to Brian (Swilly), a new member, I remembered yahoo images. Here is a photo from yahoo of a 1931 White Eagle station being restored:URL=http://img80.imageshack.us/i/whiteeaglemobilgas1930s.jpg/] [/URL]

I believe the building is in Dassel MN, from what I gather. I could be wrong.

How about a photo of an old Wilshire canopy in San Jose? URL=http://img301.imageshack.us/i/oldwilshireoilstationin.jpg/] [/URL] Or if you want something newer, how about a Texaco station built in 1968?

I've lived in San Jose for over 20 years and don't remember seeing this canopy anywhere. It's likely gone by now. Probably replaced by houses or a new commercial plaza.

The address for it is/was 2149 Alum Rock Ave according to the photo. The cars and trucks look to be from the 2000's and I believe the photos were downloaded June '09.

Just checked Google maps and it's still there and still a smog place. It's on the east side of the city and I live on the west side. I've driven by there a few times, but never paid any attention to it. I hope this link works. Google map

Also, click on this other Google link and zoom in all the way in satellite mode and look for the car wash in the southwest direction. Then, drag the "guy" into the crosswalk turning south from Cherry onto Co Hwy G8 and look into the car wash. Tell me what you see?? This place is about 1.5 miles from my house. Always wanted to take my 37 Airflow there and take a picture in front. There's also an old gas station with two visible pumps at the San Jose History Park. I'll take pictures of it next time I'm there.

I see 2 visible pumps, but not sure if this is what I am suppose to be looking for, LOL. The little man and me aren't on speaking terms, must be getting tired, LOL.
