Out Of Gas
Along what was once US30 just west of Green River, Wyoming sits … sat … this forlorn remnant of Highway America of the 40s and 50s … perhaps into the 70s? See the USA in your Chevrolet …
The construction of I-80 – that stretch of road behind the structure – doomed this business … and likely many others along this stretch of road.
My first thought was “Texaco” but I now lean towards “Sinclair”. There was nothing on site to aid identification.
I don’t know what drew me to stop by the place more than once but stop often I did. One time, there was a professional photography crew there. I didn’t interfere with them; they returned the compliment.
A weird arrangement of gas pumps …
The ghosts out here aren’t necessarily of the 1860s; the ghosts of the 1960s are fading away even faster.
As are those of us who remember the 1960s.
And even now, I realize I didn’t gather all of whatever it was – it was not physical things – that drew me there..
The structure is gone now …
You mention ghosts. The picture does have an odd feeling about it, almost if something is looking back at you. On a brighter note it is possible O’Biden was going to turn this shell of history into an electric charging station. Just finished watching part of Tucker Carlson’s 911 files. America has been had and it is done with the full cooperation of the controlled media. We Americans are nothing more than fish in a barrel or monkeys in a cage, whichever best suits the definition of being royally duped.
I don’t want to fade or forget.
Sinclair stations often had green trim and green pumps.
I recall the Sunoco in Bellbrook OH. They would hand out BC comic drinking glasses with a fill up.
