Small City Scenes said...: Very retro---There is a place in Snohomish where every building on the place has old gas station equipment nailed on the sides. Eye catching. MB; December 12, 2009 at 2:51 AM

cieldequimper said...: I'm beginning to think they really were the good old days. Do you think that's a consequence of the onset of old age? Love this, it's kind of Route 66ish!; December 12, 2009 at 11:22 AM

It isn't like that here, but the city does keep an eye on yards needing mowed. The laws must be more strict down there than here.; December 12, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Unknown said...: What a great catch! And the old wood wall is the perfect background.; December 12, 2009 at 2:37 PM
Lowell said...: @ Leia - This doesn't hold a candle to your collages, Leia! Nothing can beat them!; December 12, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Lowell said...: @ B Squared - Right on. You just forgot one thing: gas was 32 cents a gallon!; December 12, 2009 at 4:11 PM
Chattahoochee Valley Daily said...: Nostalgia abounds as evidenced by all the comments. I am surprised that some of those vintage signs are still on the building. And the pump too.; December 12, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Janet said...: Very attractive for an antique!; December 12, 2009 at 8:15 PM
