Here's an old-school, single island service station in Lexington. Just looking at it, I suspect it predates the BP<\/i> era and probably goes back into the (original) Gulf<\/i> age. This is the kind of place that used to exist to service cars -- which needed almost constant attention. Any thought to customer restrooms or any vending more elaborate than a soft drink machine was pretty much non-existent. Now, one by one they fall by the wayside as that generation of owners retires or they just can't compete against the new convenience store stations that use all the space that could have been bays to sell people stuff.<\/p>\n

This one will be selling people Thickburgers<\/i> soon.<\/p>\n
