Default Cool Old Gas Station
In West Allis, Wisconsin, (a suburb of Milwaukee) there is historical landmark pagoda style gas station that closed a number of years ago. Thankfully, they did not tear it down. It is now preserved as a little mini-park in the same location. I thought you might enjoy a few pictures I took of the truck in front of Frank Seneca's Service station.


Enjoy the rest of the nice weather. It will not be here much longer!!

Being a former "West Allien", I remember this station well as I was growing up. 76th & National Ave, right?

Glad to see it's still there!

Thanks for posting the photos and your Gun-Metal Blue pickup looks great in front of it!
