Kay (mathteacher) and I could not believe it when we came across this abandoned gas station that had a old pump still intact with the filler hose. The price of gas was 59 cents a gallon on the pump. Wonder how long ago that was, what's your guess?We both loved the dead weeds that were visable and the sign that says Guinea Hens (full grown), goats etc. for sale Three shots in this series. With this series I leave you for a few days, Kay and I are off on a road trip, yea!

In keeping with the Grant Plaza photoset theme, here's where Mr. Grant and Mary would've bought gas in the early 70's. Once a quaint house-style Amoco, with matching dainty pump canopy and seen in the 1971 HistoricAerials.com photo, it once looked very much like the station in the link above.
Now the current canopy dominates the entire scene, partially hiding the station's former identity from the front at least. It has morphed into another mega gas convenience market with Exxon branding, the only entity still pumping gas in the immediate area.
El Desastre del Exxon Valdez fue un derrame de petróleo provocado por el petrolero Exxon Valdez tras encallar el 24 de marzo de 1989, con una carga de 11 millones de galones de crudo, en Prince William Sound, Alaska, vertiendo 37.000 toneladas de hidrocarburo.
Alaska vivió la peor tragedia ecológica de su historia al encallar el petrolero y verter millones de litros de crudo que se expandieron sobre más de 2.000 kilómetros de costa. Para la limpieza de la marea negra se utilizaron aspiradores, mangueras de agua caliente a presión, se trasladó el crudo que aún contenía el Exxon Valdez a otro petrolero. Los daños a la fauna que se produjeron en esta zona aún se siguen estudiando.
El vertido condujo a la aprobación de nueva legislación medioambiental en los Estados Unidos de América (Oil Pollution Act 1990).
La vida salvaje se vio seriamente afectada por el vertido

[editar] Datos del incidente
El buque petrolero Exxon Valdez (nombre compuesto formado por las palabras Exxon, empresa petrolera norteamericana propietaria del barco, y Valdez, nombre del puerto con el que operaba) salió de la terminal petrolera Valdez, en Alaska, a las 21:12 h. del 23 de marzo de 1989 (24 de marzo, según la hora local UTC) con destino a Long Beach, California. Uno de los prácticos del puerto guió a la embarcación a través de los Valdez Narrows antes de abandonar la nave y devolver el control a Joseph Jeffrey Hazelwood, capitán del barco. La embarcación maniobró fuera de la ruta, a fin de evitar el choque contra los icebergs. Después de la maniobra y poco después de las 23:00 h., Hazelwood dejó el puente de mando. Dejó al Tercer Oficial de cubierta Gregory Cousins a cargo del puente de mando y a Robert Kagan en el timón, pero estos dos miembros de la tripulación no habían descansado las seis horas que son obligatorias en su trabajo antes de que comenzara su turno de 12 horas. El barco estaba en piloto automático, y usó el sistema de navegación que había sido instalado por la compañía constructora del barco. La vía de salida del barco estaba cubierta por icebergs, así que el capitán, Hazelwood, solicitó permiso de la guardia costera para salir a través de la vía de entrada.
El 24 de marzo de 1989, alrededor de las 00:04 h., el buque petrolero Exxon Valdez golpeó el arrecife de coral conocido como Bligh Reef, situado en el Prince William Sound, en Alaska, y derramó cerca de 10,8 millones de galones de petróleo crudo (alrededor de 40,9 millones de litros).
El incidente puso a prueba la capacidad de respuesta de organizaciones locales, nacionales e industriales ante un desastre de gran magnitud. Muchos factores complicaron los esfuerzos del gobierno y la industria que participaron en la limpieza del derramamiento, entre ellos el tamaño del vertido y su localización remota en el Prince William Sound, accesible solamente en helicóptero y barco. El derramamiento planteó amenazas a la delicada cadena de alimentación en que se apoyaba la industria de la pesca profesional de Prince William Sound. También estaban en peligro diez millones de pájaros y aves acuáticas migratorias, centenares de nutrias del mar y docenas de otras especies de la orilla, tales como marsopas, leones de mar y diversas variedades de ballenas.
Alyeska, la asociación que representa a siete compañías petroleras que funcionan en el puerto Valdez, entre ellas Exxon, fue la que primero asumió la responsabilidad de la limpieza, de acuerdo con la planificación de urgencia del área. Alyeska abrió un centro de comunicaciones de emergencia en Valdez poco después del derramamiento, y las segundas operaciones se centralizaron desde Anchorage, Alaska.
[editar] Organizaciones que ayudaron con la limpieza
Junto con Alyeska, hubo 3 organizaciones que prestaron ayuda de forma inmediata.
* Los especialistas de la EPA (Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos) en el uso de las tecnologías experimentales de biorremediación asistieron a la limpieza del derramamiento.
* La NOAA (Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica) estuvo implicada en el abastecimiento de los partes meteorológicos para Prince William Sound, y permitió que el equipo de limpieza adaptase sus métodos a las condiciones atmosféricas.
* Los especialistas del Instituto de Marina de Hubbs en San Diego y el Centro Internacional de Investigaciones sobre Aves de Berkeley (California), establecieron un centro para limpiar y rehabilitar aves acuáticas.
[editar] Métodos de limpieza utilizados
Limpieza de las orillas de Prince William Sound.
Se probaron tres métodos en el esfuerzo de limpiar encima del derramamiento:
* Dispersores químicos
Éste fue el primer intento de limpieza. El 24 de marzo una compañía aplicó dispersores con un helicóptero, pero como no había bastante acción de onda para mezclar el dispersor con el petróleo en el agua, el uso de éste fue discontinuo. Entre otros dispersores se utilizo Corexit 9580 producido por Nalco Holding Company.
* Limpieza mecánica
La limpieza mecánica fue iniciada luego de terminado el uso de dispersores químicos, y para ello se utilizaron bombas extractoras y skimmers. Sin embargo, los skimmers no podían ser usados fácilmente luego de 24 horas. Y lamentablemente el crudo y las algas terminaron obstruyendo este tipo de maquinarias, con lo que los procedimientos de reparación se convirtieron en una pérdida de tiempo.
* La quemadura
Se ordenó una quemadura durante las primeras horas del derramamiento. Aislando parte del derrame con material resistente al fuego, esta prueba fue exitosa, pues se logró reducir 113.400 litros de petróleo a 1134 litros de residuo, pero debido al mal tiempo ya no se intentó ningún otro procedimiento en los esfuerzos de limpieza.

This gas station was built in 1985.
This ole Gas station, that was a Humble, Enco, then Exxon, that sits at 3275 S Polk, has been vacant for a while now. It looks to have been used as a Convenience store at one time. Possibly a Garage in its earlier days.. Today, it sits Idle, next to a 7-Eleven.
*Update - March 2015 - This has since been renovated & now open as a new business.. Business is unknown at this time..
This structure was built in 1958.

This was originally McCord's Aberdeen Esso, which was built and opened in 1968. It became Exxon in fall 1972, which closed in the mid 2000s and was demolished in 2011.
This was most recently an Exxon and it looks like it stopped pumping only recently. The design, however, suggests a 1960s or so ranch Esso/Enco or Shell. Centerpoint, Alabama.

NEWS
"Sarah Palin's Alaska." is to be aired on "VERGE- Planet Green's all-new primetime programming destination"
WRITE DISCOVERY CHANNEL AN EMAIL about it!
For example, I wrote-
You seriously intend giving Sarah Palin money to host a show on VERGE- Planet Green? So she can further her plan to influence American public opinion with her inane but ultimately dangerous views on ecology?
Please... reconsider airing "Sarah Palin's Alaska." Be assured I WILL NOT WATCH IT, and will urge all my friends to do likewise. I will also be less likely to turn on your channel in the future if this is the kind of programming you intend to pursue in your new line-up.
Sincerely,
(ME)

Given the $1.40 price on the pump here, plus the overall outdatedness of the pumps themselves, it appears that this station hasn't operated since the early 2000s.

3327 West Mercury Boulevard, Hampton, VA
This location was built in 1986, replacing the original 1959-built location constructed as an Esso on site. The station closed around 1993-1994 and reopened in 1999; in-between that period Boston Market showed interest in building a location on here, but underground gas leaks prevented them from doing so; instead, they built here. The station closed in 2020 and was demolished shortly after I took these photos. In 2022 a 7-Eleven/Exxon was built on site, which opened in February 2023.
