Just barely out of sight from Highway 97, this home looked pretty recently left behind.
I wouldn’t know for sure, but it seemed fairly populated with all the trash and trimmings that usually disappear within a generation or two.
It seems like a simple shot of a door in it’s frame, I’m sure.
But take a closer look… see anything else?
Another angle of the two gas pumps, this time looking north.
Maybe it’s just my over-active imagination- but the moment I saw these two with their hoses laying in the grass like that… I immediately felt like I was on set of some surreal film or animation, in which the pumps were slowly making their way past the gas station and down the road. Very slow, very retro robots…
Only 66 and 1/2 cents per gallon!
I love how in the old days, there were often less printed laws that presumed the customer might be up to no good and more printed laws reminding the customers to ALSO keep an eye on the proprietor!
Vintage gas pump- the old “Gilbarco Calco-meter”, staring into the sun under the Orange Crush sign.
Made back in the day when it was impossible to imagine gas prices ever being higher than 99 cents per gallon. I never understood why gas was measured in a tenth of a cent back in the day, but you can see how this one was retired at only $.69 a gallon.
