"I loved growing up in a little town. I loved knowing people. I loved going to the store and running into people. I loved going into the store and having forgotten my bag, saying, 'Charge it, put it on my bill.' I loved going to the gas station and saying, 'Pete, fill it up.' I loved that continuity of life." Sissy Spacek

...now Texaco is an old name.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a variety of places, big and small, but I know just what Ms. Spacek is talking about. Those were the "good ol' days." They weren't so good for some people but I remember them well and sometimes wish we could return to them.
ReplyDeleteA throw back to the past. Well suited to black and white.
ReplyDeleteExcellent black and white Tanya. Growing up in small towns has it's advantages and it's disadvantages 😀

Did you know that Sissy Spaceck lives only a half hour away from us, in Charlottesville? I love this picture. Are there even any Texacos anymore? They do not seem to be around as much.
ReplyDeleteA classic b&w photo and gas station. We had one of these type gas stations, they seem to be style that was around years ago. Nice shot, Tanya.
ReplyDeleteSo neat to see a gas station like they used to be. I loved the small town for the same reasons
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteI still stop and tell the man to fill it up! Gotta love small town life.
ReplyDeleteReal service stations are rapidly disappearing as your fine photo shows. Perfect subject for b&w.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote: great gas station photo!
