The Good Old Days

“Say goodbye to the oldies, but goodies, because the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems.

--Billy Joel
I remember Sinclair stations. Lovely shot of life-sized memorabilia and nice quote.

Nice shot and great in black and white.

Great shot. I like the idea of the 'body shop' I could do with some of that. I need a new neck, hip, knee, elbow and head. Do they do discount for a job lot ha ha?

Is this service station actually in use. Where is this at?

We actually have a Sinclair station in town, brings back many happy memories. Love the way lyrics match the feel of the building.

@k9photo Thanks Kate... this place has a lot of memorabilia for sure!

@serendypyty Thanks Cazzi... I almost always prefer a B&W for these old timey gas stations... it just seems right.

@onewing Babs... you are too funny... I got a new left hip back in 2015... but not there haha... it gave me back the ability to walk, hike, ride my motorcycle, etc.

@radiogirl Thanks so much... the clouds were quite dramatic.

@cocobella Thanks Corinne... I agree... it does look vintage... lots of old things... inside the place too.

@marlboromaam Thanks Maggie... you are too kind... most appreciated.

@fayefaye Thanks Faye... I’ve been passing this place for years and this is the first time I’ve ever stopped. I’ll have to go back and shoot again some day.

@bubblequeen Thanks so much Melvina... I always love B&W for vintage scenes.

@dutchothotmailcom Thanks Esther... it took me a little time to figure out what to search for in a quote but once I thought of the good old days and found this I knew it was the one... I’m a big Billy Joel fan too and now I can’t get this chorus out of my mind!

@bkbinthecity @seattlite @milaniet @redy4et thanks so much y’all... most appreciated.

@bkbinthecity No... the sign on the side of this place is for a real estate agent in New Hope, Georgia.

@joysabin Thanks so much Joy... for me too. It is cool that you still have these stations... I think I saw some of them in the western US... maybe New Mexico or Arizona.

@koalagardens I agree... Billy Joel is one of my favs.

@aikiuser Thanks Jenn... I always love old stuff like this... you may not be able to see it but there is a sign for 5 cent moonpies!

@pusspup Thanks Wylie... there is a nice collection of old stuff there for sure!

@momamo Thanks Monique.
