I love finding retro elements across the city, remnants of history and earlier design aesthetics. Which is what I thought I'd found at this gas station on Bayview. It turns out that what I took to be a 50s or 60s era service booth was one actually installed in 2013 when the gas pumps were upgraded. Perhaps the styling is deliberately retro, a nod to the heyday of the full service gas station, which is itself a bit of an anachronism.
