    Hey! Nice angle on those old pumps. I see you noticed that clock, too. It's a cool corner for sure.

    This is such a classic American shot. I can't believe I have never seen this corner -- or never noticed it.

    If they still have old-fashioned prices I'll be there in a minute.

    This is just down the block from PCC.

    They seem to be kept up. Maybe they're used on movie shoots. Are they close to PCC?

    Thanks Ben - I feel honoured to have two of my requests on your blog.

    The pumps are on the corner of Green and Chester, just a couple of blocks west of PCC (or is that giving away a secret?).

    I've got to see these in person. They are just great.
