Benny's Service station. Alot of great memories there. :)

My grandparents owned this station before Benny and my aunt and uncle ran it. Long after its prime my dad bought the property. I believe it is now an empty lot?

I'm trying to figure out if I can recognize any of the vehicles!

I used to ride my bike out there for a bottle of pop.
.10 cents !

Lots of good memories at Bennie's. Use to go out on Sunday afternoons, have some soda out of his water cooled pop cooler. It was the best. Also have a very sad memory. Benny was working on my car, went back into town to the café, shot some pool with Calvin Kramer. Asked Calvin to give me a ride back out to Bennies. Well, you all know the rest of the story.

We spent summers on the farm between Rock Rapids and Little Rock. After going to Church in Little Rock we would stop at Bennies for a treat on the ride back. My great grandfather owned the farm just across the road years ago...
