Here's an old Fina gas station, located in Grants. The
place is now abandoned, yet another ghost hearkening back to the glory
years of the Mother Road, back before the interstate bypassed the local
businesses.

Whiting Bros was once a household name for gas, and was
well known for its eye-catching signs and cheap prices. Wonder what Whiting
Bros would be charging in this day and age when $2.00+ per gallon is the
norm.

To the left are a couple more photos of the abandoned Whiting Bros. gas
station, located in Casa Blanca, NM. The mother road may be pretty well
worn around this area and the signs themselves may be a bit faded from
the sun, but it's always great to see roadside sign survivors.
In the background of the far left photo, you can see the dilapidated
gas station/motel/grocery store.
