1005 Chambers Street, The Burg 1957



1005 Chambers Street, The Burg 1957
The corner of Ashmore Avenue and Chambers Street
This was Peter Palumbo's Service Cities Center Gas Station
in the early 1960s.
This was John N. Tomasulo's Service Cities Center Gas Station
in 1950s according to my records:)

UPDATE: I drove by this yesterday, did not have my camera.
But it looks exactly the same as it did 53 years ago but
for the paint job:)

This was also Smokie's Garage in the 70s and 80s, I believe it was.

You're right PattiGirl. Smokie was a dear friend for years and we kept in touch for a long while.
