Sheesh.<br /><br />I like imagining what life must have been like working in old buildings like that gas station. And how cool is it that the person who built the building actually cared about the look of the place? Today seems all about boxes...this gas station had - has - character.susannahttp://www.susannassketchbook.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-68888812133409919822010-09-20T12:59:20.045-07:002010-09-20T12:59:20.045-07:00I love Walsenburg!

The interstates killed a lot of the old businesses outright. It's lovely to see this place that still abides in New Mexico.

LOL<br />Off topic right ? .. I fear the loss of my plant-mobile is coming to a head .. as this very quaint gas station ..
