Title: Cool Gas Station Post by: mznb1u on August 13, 2008, 04:36:48 pm Attached are two pictures of something I passed on the road last week. It is a gas station and many other collectibles that a guy has in his back yard. I have passed this before but this time I snapped a few phone cam pics. It is located on Jolly Road just east of Okemos. I have attempted to stop and talk to the owner for a closer look but I have never caught anyone home. There is even an old Airstream parked around the side of the station that is not shown in the picture.
Very cool! Enjoy! Title: Re: Cool Gas Station Post by: SIGNGUY on August 13, 2008, 04:49:27 pm WOW>.. Very cool... sure would be fun to get in there to see the place.. you gotta go back and get some photos to share.. most guys with displays like that ,,, want to show it off... that's why the built it..
PLEASE go back! where is it again? Title: Re: Cool Gas Station Post by: Pat Pixley on August 13, 2008, 06:37:27 pm This is only 10 mins from my home and office , Nate is very funny about people stopping and taking photos , he has had people stealing his stuff at night or when he has gone out to dinner, he now has camaras on the property.
I have bought soda stuff off of him in the past it took almost a year to get in the garage & home were he has some cool stuff. I asked if I could post some photo's on this site and he did tell me no he does want to keep it as quite as possible. Tim next time your going throught call me and we can get together for a soda I think I sent you my numbers :oh:.

Title: Re: Cool Gas Station Post by: mznb1u on August 13, 2008, 09:43:34 pm Pat,
I will give you a call the next time I am out that way. I was in between appointments that particular day. Tell Nate he has an awesome :happydrinkers: display and it sucks that people can't just appreciate it without trying to steal stuff. I have passed it a number of times before the soda machine bug bit me and I never really stopped to look at all the stuff that he has out there. I would love to get a tour sometime but I can understand how he feels if has has had thefts. Sometimes people suck! :down: Tim Title: Re: Cool Gas Station Post by: halehouse on August 13, 2008, 10:28:20 pm It is beyond me how someone can just take something that doesn't belong to them. Obviously it isn't uncommon (stealing), I just "don't get it".
Title: Re: Cool Gas Station Post by: Pat Pixley on August 13, 2008, 10:41:04 pm Where he sets he has a wood area on one side and a bit of a hill on the other so you really dont see it till you come up on it .
He has had a few signs stolen, they unscrewed them right from the garage. That is why he is funny about people taking photo's of his place the more people see it the more people know about it , Then you get stuff that comes up missing. :Oo: I'm with you Dan I just don't get people that do steal :upside: it will catch up with them some time down the road.
