I've almost had so many accidents when I drive by this building, it's just so cool. I didn't realize that the island roof is gone - how did I miss that? It always reminds me of a Dairy Queen cone!

Hi John,
I'm sure sorry to hear what's happened to this building. I would definitely think it would be worth saving.

Good shot Peg. When I photographed it, I noticed that the roof over the pump islands was "changing shape" more than likely as a result of water getting inside during monsoon storms. The owners fudged a repair, it didn't work. Now the island roof has been completely removed. Very sad.
