It fascinates me, Steve, to see that you tend to be after abandoned
In many rural areas of America, abandoned structures like stores or
barns or even houses are simply left to slowly decay rather than being
demolished. This is probably because in rural areas land is not at a

I'm sure. We spend so much time taking care of our stuff that it's
fascinating to look at formerly valuable things being allowed to
decay.

Fascinating, I like old machinery.
What's the crank handle

Great shot. My guess would be mid 70's for that price.
I' used ot work at a Supertest gas station in my teens, and have been
looking for a pump to photograph but so far no luck.

Just a SWAG, but it looks me like he maybe didn't want to stand out in
the middle of traffic while making the photographs.

I enjoyed seeing both this and the pump. Unfortunately, I'm old
enough that I didn't have to ask about the crank handle. I was
pumping gas out o the ground with one of those when I was a teenager.
Of course I had to check the oil and wash the windshield for every
customer.

That is an old one.
Gasoline at 38 9/10 cents per gallon leaded regular
I ride many of these Virginia backroads. There are abandoned houses
and collapsing barns, of course. But there is an amazing number of
abandoned stores with gas pumps out front. The biggest problem is
stopping to take the shot.
