Photograph by John Morris
I took this photo a little over 5 years ago, when I was using a camera as a means to explore the city I just moved to. I can’t remember where it was taken, but I believe it was in the rural outskirts of southeast Raleigh, perhaps off of Rock Quarry Road. I’ve gone back once or twice in an attempt to find the station and pumps, but never did. My guess is that the station is now gone.
