    Noticed 2 things.

    1) the pic is so clear it could have been taken yesterday.

    2) check out the oil stains in the parking spots. Anything redone in the last 10 years do not have nearly the dropped oil. Sure it should be obvious, duh, cars are a lot tighter now. But still stuck me on how much things have changed.

    Been there a few times in my life. So many of the station tracks have been removed over the last four decades, the land has been repurposed for condos on the North side, between the station and the Willamette River.

    I knew there was something familiar about this photo..........

    Turns out it's in Bend, Oregon, and I've driven by it quite a few times. Motel is still there, believe it or not, but the Tom Tom Drive-In is gone, replaced by a Sonic Drive- In. And there's a new side street going through where the big motel parking lot used to be....

    Are you sure it's not a man in a suit? Remember this is Bend, Oregon. o_O That fishhook thing looks like a sidewalk.
