Exxon Market Express, 1027 Elmwood Avenue: Spring 2021 3 comments
I never stopped at this Market Express though I do remember noticing it from time to time. While the property light poles aren't quite the kind of gull-wing fixtures I really like on vintage buildings, they are a bit better than most current ones.
Commenter Larry suggests that the lot is to become a car wash which seems like poor siting to me, but then I don't drive that stretch too often.
(Hats off to Larry)
UPDATE 11 Aug 2021: Forgot to put a date on the initial post. I'm guessing "Spring 2021" and have added that.

I think this was originally a full service Shell station back in the day.

I think this is the gas station I spotted at when I passed through Columbia for the first time in the 90s. After it closed recently, it became a homeless encampment, so it's good to see it razed. Agree that it does seem like a bad location for a car wash, relatively difficult to get in and out of.
