New Haven center of town, Rt 224 heading east from the upper left and SR 61 heading north towards the upper right. The Shell service station and Mary Restaurant (in 1969). In the lower left corner was a Sohio station.

Today a BP station replaces the Shell station and the restaurant. The Sohio building is still there as Wallhead Auto Sales.

I was pumping gas for Less Seward when it was Shell In 1961. I just turned 16
