Happy Birthday, Self-Serve Gas

10. That's where the Mobil station was - and still is - right across from the school

And right at the exit/entrance to the highway. Things started changing shortly after I got my license, I remember something about a big rent increase, and the Mobil station owner moved his service business to another location - a garage, no longer a gas station - and we followed him.

And I loved that car, though it had neither air conditioning nor a defrost for the back window. My Dad bought me some kind of grid that stuck to the back window that defrosted it. That car always ran well and I got hit early on - a guy ran a red light, my Dad found me a lawyer and we took him to court and won! So I got it fixed, they made cars much sturdier in those days - and I'd probably still be driving it now if it wasn't for the rust. That happens here in the North Country because of the salt they use on the roads.
