12.07- Thirty Seven Cents per Gallon




Gas pumps in front of moribund Texaco station on Florence Road

The pumps indicate 37 cents per gallon... they must have last been set in 1971 or 72.

While the station and store are no longer open for business, the pumps, lube containers and other artifacts have been kept in good shape and are on display out front, while a collection of old soda bottles decorate the front window sills:




This property is owned by a member of the Day family, which family also owns the nearby "Day's Landing," featured in my prior post of October 20.
