Former Esso/Exxon/Gulf gas station.
Flatbush Avenue & Kings Highway,Brooklyn,NYC
Long ago,in 1977,my friend knew someone who worked here, The garage was then the original old style type with a lift. He let us raise the VW my sister gave me to check underneath.
My friend died suddenly at age 20 in June 1978 due to heart failure perhaps caused by effects of Rheumatic fever he had in childhood. But this gas station always reminds me of him. It seems like it is being prepared for a new use such as happened to several other former gas stations in my area.

A Starbucks Coffee shop with drive -up window was built and opened earlier this year on this site.
