There was a station half a mile from me, Family owned since the 30s. They still pumped your gas until they closed a yr and a half ago. Best trustworthy mechanics around. At the end of the station’s life, the two brothers decide to retire. The one had 50 years there the other 45.

All the way up to the early seventies on payday I could fill my tank, stop at the neighborhood bar and have a draft beer, buy a pack of smokes out of the vending machine and still leave the barkeep a tip all on 5 bucks.
