    There was actually a gothic gas station here in Toledo. Very nice. I'll have to try to post a picture.

    Marcus, down here in the South, we have gas stations that are designed in the Colonial Williamsburg style. But you find them where the tourists go. We local yokels get the same old ugly utilitarian look.
