jim's 76
I was a steady customer of this gas station until it suddenly closed one day and stood vacant for the next seven years. I returned with my camera, walked in through a broken front window and photographed the relics remaining.
25W477. Now a ghost address.
No problem parking here.
Things were not jumping around here.
New entrance for weather and photographer.
Flies were no longer a concern here.
Last pump standing
I hope all motorists got their keys back before sudden closing.
Jim's never posted a "clean restrooms" sign.
I like to think the station closed at 9:40 that day.
Their cat-in-the-hat mascot.
Fan forever stilled.
Working no more.
Wasted decor.
Working man's sink.
Claims and estimates.
No more nuts.
Lights out forever.
Hose in repose.
Life draining out.
Rusty bird to match.
Bird's last portrait.
Still working.
Phone gone. Paint reclaims space.
Replaced and forgotten.
No more overseeing here.
Jail patterns.
