Photo 22-CGU-28

Comments

Quaker State service station.

This is the gas/service station that was at the corner of Rt 21 and Plainfield Road - was torn down in 1985 or so and now has a newer residence there. We used to get gas and repairs - was a real mess. One interesting element of this photo is that the road is blocked leading down to Interstate 77, as that road and the interstate were just being constructed at this time. I lived about 1000 yards down from this road from 1972-1985
