Here's a cool station that we saw while out and about recently up in Bloomington.
And, right across the street -- an old Mobil station. The old sign frame is even still there!
Those stations are just down the street from my sign shop! I'm good friends with Bill who owns Bills Service Station!
First picture looks to be a former Esso station .............. Ed Shaver
This is a wrecking yard not to far from where I live.

Here is a old gas station I pass by everytime I go to the national fire academy in Emmitsburg, MD
San Francisco, CA - hard to see the small station buidling behind all of the cars.
San Carlos, CA
Downtown Las Vegas, NV
Badgas,
That last station is very 'Jetson.' What year would it be from do you think?
This looks like a Phillips 66 station that was where I started working in 1970 for $1.00/hr. lol Dave Jones
^^^That's a nice station. I was in Wenatchee twice earlier this years. Once briefly for a few days in April and then about a week in August. My wife's grandmother and aunt/uncles live there. I saw the construction on that building in August. There's also a guy across the street that has a powerwashing business. I saw him powerwashing a few of those pumps before being restored. The owner of the business happened to stop by at the same time while I was talking to the powerwashing guy about the pumps. I even offered a Gilbarco pump to him that I was taking back to my house. He never materialized on the offer.
Either way, I can't wait to visit that place again next year.
Found this Gem this morning driving....This is a great reminder that stuff is still out there in the wild...
My daughter took this photo of the
World's Largest Redwood Gas Station in Ukiah, California. Cool!
