    I love the photos Jim! You're lucky to have photos of your 'past' as you do. I'm pretty certain that's a Trifive pickup on the right hand side of the station? I used to see such stores along many back roads in the south, and stations like that in every small town.

    Growing up in Louisiana I saw many similar to those. We had Esso in LA instead of Enco. I remember the little country stores and the owners lived in the rear part of many of them.
