Old Gas Stations

Excellent. My uncle has a collection of old gas station memorabilia.. including some sweeeet old pumps.

A few of those shots reminded me of one of my main hobbies: urban exploration. I'll put a link in my signature soon to a photo album of some of the cool old places I've been.
 
Very nostalgic indeed. Not to be a kill-joy, but ya know what's sad? Some of the old "Mom and Pop" folks that owned these historic gems ended up loosing their shirts when the aging tanks in the ground began to leak, and the age of environmental liability began.
 
Love the second pic with the kid jumping on the air hose that rings the bell. I remember doing that when I was but a wee lad.
 
Jenney Station

Okay, here we go. A Jenney station in Watertown, Massachusetts around 1930.
