Surrounded by suburbia, along a seldom-travelled rural road, stood the remains of a long-shuttered gasoline station. A closer look at the gas pumps revealed how many decades had passed since anyone had stopped to refuel. The gallons pumped were measured in a single digit plus two decimal places, as were the dollars and cents. A full tank? – less than $10. As for that vintage newspaper delivery box, such an item commands well over $100 online these days.
