Title: Cool Place Post by: Ben on February 14, 2015, 12:50:54 pm I drive by this old station every day on my way to work. I've stopped by a dozen times and never find anyone there. Asked about it at a business close by and they say the inside is wall to wall old collectibles; coke machines, jukebox,signs and all kinds of petroliana and coke memorabilia. I was told that he is sometimes there on Saturdays.... So far, no luck. The place was abandoned and run down for as long as I can remember, then a few years ago the gas pumps went up, and gradually it evolved into this. Very cool...

Title: Re: Cool Place Post by: Ben on February 14, 2015, 03:14:11 pm The building is in a little town north of Austin Texas. It has a couple of security cameras, but yes I would be paranoid too. I got the guys name today, so I may try to contact him and see if he'll give me a look inside.

Title: Re: Cool Place Post by: Ben on February 14, 2015, 11:00:07 pm So, after a little searching I found this link. The girls are interesting, but I never would have believed what is on the inside of the gas station. And, why haven't I seen any of this? He must open it up on occasion. Wow!
