The Shell Station on the corner of 571 and Garber in Tipp looking North. Behind the station is the car wash. Across the street to the right is where the 4 Seasons mall was, Ohio Valley Van Parts was on the west side of this building were both my brother and I worked in the late 70’s early 80’s. Inside was a pet shop, tobacco gun shop, dance studio, used book store, jewelry store, ice cream/cafe, I think there was also a beauty shop but not sure of that one, I do believe that’s my brothers custom 66 Ford van next to the building, with it sitting there I would say this picture was taken in 1978-79. Even though the gas station has been rebuilt it and the car wash are still there the mall was torn down and the old Taco Bell was built on the corner along with a new building that houses a restaurant and other stores. Taco Bell has also since built a new building across I75 where the old Tipp O the Town was.
