the "new" is the gas prices? took me a minute to figure it out (if that is indeed what you intended)

This station has been a landmark in what used to be a small community that has grown rapidly over the last 7 or 8 yrs. I took this pic at Christmas and about a month later it closed. I remember going there in the 80s as a kid. They always pumped for you and at one point was 1 of only 2 stations in our community.

I don't know how much more clear I can make the rules. I made them huge font, underlined, bolded, capital letters. ipleadthe5th is disqualified from this contest, but welcome to submit in the next contest.

Thx, I wish I had a new light meter, because I have a very old GE light meter from their Lamp Division Application Engineering Dept.
