Monochrome Road Photos

[Max Rockatansky]

Where you find the old Esso station at?  I had a nice Richfield find on reply 69, there is another in Coalinga I'll probably get a picture of eventually. 

Incidentally I have personal favorites with old pumps and service stations all over my albums:

It was along NC 87 in Chatham County.

Any good roadside stuff worth stopping for photos in the western part of the state?  I'll be heading that way tomorrow and I'll be there through Monday.


Anyways, time to catch up with some of my Florida stuff that I just took.
