By
oldnfuelish the south side is where i was born,and spent my 1st 12 years(hence the name "south shore heating")i remember this station as KB's Citgo.when i showed my dad a cities srevice sign i got, he said"thats what KB's was"well,through the years i was 5 to 12 years old,this was the place all the kids went to hang out. KB was a giant of a man(at least to us) and had the biggest smile you could imagine.always welcomed us and gave us free toys that citgo was giving away at the time!even though we didnt buy any gas.here is where we used the old wall mounted eco air meter to fill up the tires in our bikes. my brother was down here last fall and took this pic,not the best,but sure brought back some memories.more than 35 years since i been there,but with the pic it almost seems like yesterday!!! mick
