Looks good Bob, nice find! Looks like a fun place to wander around with a camera. Curious did you work the scene there? Moving in for detail shots of gas pumps and vending machines, etc.?

To answer your question, no - it is a 'tweener', between points A and B. I might return later next week. First pass I couldn't tell if they were even open. The TV dishes at the rear (out of this cropped frame) suggest there is activity.

Same here Douglas, and cokes were 5 cents from the cooler. The local family favorite also served ice cream: 11 cents for a single scoop, 15 cents for a double (I'll have a black-raspberry please.), line out the door every summer evening.
Strong roadside scene. I like how the old pumps, Coke machine and overgrown foreground all point in the same direction: a place that has stopped working, but hasn’t quite disappeared. The black and white gives it a nice dry, documentary feel.
