Please tell us more about this project.
How is it that it may be remotely possible to save (as in retain for
practical use) the gas pumps? Or are we talking ornamental save here?
Forgetting what oil company is going to let you use the original dinosaurs,
are you not going to have environmental problems with the pumps, the tanks,
and for that matter the whole site? Are we to believe that in 80 years,
they haven't been dumping their changed oil in the pit behind the parking lot?
As a native of LA (largely built in the 20's), I like 20's gas stations as
much as anybody, but it seems to me there are some potential major problems
here.
