Old Gas Station Memories
I was out driving in the country the other day with my family and was just taking in all of the sites. Suddenly, off in the distance I saw an old gas station. As we approached, it became clear that it has been abandoned long ago. There was no one around for miles, so I pulled off just to give everyone a chance to stretch their legs.
I walked around the rusted out hulks of antique gas pumps and imagined what this place must have looked like back when it was in its prime. The glass globes which had decorated the tops of these tanks were long gone. Inside the building I could see that there were a couple of old gas station signs that I’m sure someone would pay a pretty penny for if they were listed on eBay. I imagined full service attendants rushing out to check my car’s oil, clean my windshield and fill ‘er up without having to wait for a credit card authorization. It was a different time to be sure.
