Early in my hobbie I was given a complaint of garbage/rubbish in and around a old abandoned sunoco gas station off one of our back streets.
Nobody knew who owned it anymore (taxes unpaid) and the story was it was operating one day and not the next way back when.
The town wanted it gone and was asking us to possibly find and cite the owner to clean up before they had used the town DPW guys and equipment.
This was a while ago but I do remember there being alot of gas stuff inside, like they said, just left there. A air pump was on the building I do remeber, along with pumps out front but I forget what kind.
You have to know..that back then I was just getting into collectiong and I was soda stuff
only. I didnt see any machines or signs so I didnt persue it further. Although the building had quite a few gas/oil inside along with displays and such.
Long story short..We never located the responsible party and the town came in and leveled the place about 4 months later. Everything was loaded into a rolloff and never seen again.
