Never To Be Again


This sign in Olinda on Happy Vally Road is left to remind us of the good ole days. But it really hasn't been that long ago. I go even further back to gas station signs in Texas that advertised 14 Cents/gal with 20 times Blue Chip Stamps. Back then a uniformed man would check your tires, water, battery, and clean your windshields just for the few dollars it took to fill the tank. And don't forget those precious Blue Chip Stamps that came as a bonus. (Just click on the picture for a larger view.)
