    During last road trips I took some photos of abandoned/restored gas stations:

    Sometimes needed a garage myself (re-charge R134):

    Thanks Harry. I have passed thousands of old gas stations and stores, even old cars. My main excuse is we always pulled an RV or had a motorhome with car behind. Yet I still pass right by with only my car or truck. Guess I better stop and smell the diesel fuel and gas now an then.
    At the time I didn't realize these are all disappearing fast.

    Those are great pics. The Bomber gas station is in the Portland Or area. I plan to stop by there next time I go down. I LOVE the art deco style of the old buildings. I wish there would be a resurgence of that in our modern architecture. Thanks to all who posted photos.
