A friend of mine was recently on a local garage tour. This is when a few classic car owners get together and visit another persons property. I think some of you will enjoy one of the pictures taken that day.

If I remember correctly, a couple of years ago someone... Possibly it was Dave Gill? Shared some information about the Owner of this Property and info that this building was never an actual Gas Station...

If it wasn't a gas station originally, it should have been. Looks like it's taken great form as a gas station in its later years.

The Shady Grove Garage building was built to look old and like a garage. I know the owner well and it's about a 25 minute drive from my place.
