I've posted a few gas stations from around where I live in this thread, and that has turned into a project to document these and use them as inspiration for decorating my garage with locally themed petroliana and roadside Americana. This is my latest discovery--a 1959 appraisal photo showing the remains of a much older gas pump, still topped with a Cities Service "Koolmotor" high-test globe shaped like a clover leaf (it was green, too). I'm not sure where in my immediate area there was a Cities Service, but there's a Citgo across the street from where I work, so maybe it came from there.
