The Bean Pot is gone? My father loved that place.

This should work better: Google - intersection of Cincinnati and Zarzamora

If you went there then you probably remember what was located near
the entrance inside this place ?

Anyone ?



hint:
one day I took a friend there...& I remarked jokingly...
"oh look..I can see remnants of a tennis shoe in there..."

It was a Gulf station. Hathaway's, and later Hinton's.

Thanks ged,

I never was aware that there are still some around even if
no longer gas stations. The pattern is there.
There is another one on 900 Nolan st.

====================================

This one is outside of the city.

It's nice that care was made to have it preserved
as much as possible.

Thanks Mud...
I see them now...Great ...

Amazing what my "mac" can show me when I press the
right button...


btw: the Magnolia gas station I posted earlier is in
Shamrock...up the pan-handle...

...it's about 6 h 58 min more or less to get there

but a lot depends on the music you're listening to
that determines how fast or mellow you drive...

I prefer "mellow"...
