America's Gas Stations

Old-School Gas StationsCreated by: PICRYL - Public Domain Media Search EngineDated: 2017
A cross roads store, bar, "juke joint," and gas station in the cotton plantation area, Melrose, La.
The gas station is a dying art, one that helped shape the course of American travel over the course of the XXth century. Some old gas stations have ended up on the National Register of Historic Places, but most of those solely act as landmarks and aren’t operational. Many been repurposed as restaurants or museums or even still offer their original services so visitors have an opportunity to interact with former roadside staples.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – A sign on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California identifies the steel structure in the background as Space Launch Complex 2, or SLC-2, where preparations are underway for the upcoming launch of NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 mission, or OCO-2, aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket in July.    The observatory will collect precise global measurements of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and provide scientists with a better idea of the chemical compound's impacts on climate change. Scientists will analyze this data to improve our understanding of the natural processes and human activities that regulate the abundance and distribution of this important atmospheric gas.
