A couple of old buildings

[Canon AE-1]

Just a couple of old buildings, old Coca Cola bottling co. and Full service gas station. The bottleing Co. closed in the late 70's and the gas station has been closed for 35 years or more.

(yeah those photos were a little too big)

Looks like great potential for images here, especially if you can get inside, but PLEASE resize these too 800 pixels on the longest side; 3Mb images are wayyyy too large for Internet forums.

#1 needs to be straightened so the words don't look like they're going to slide off the building.

Get inside that! I think the bottling plant might be cool inside

There is no way to get inside. However i put the lens up to the window next to the door.
It looks nice in there. I would love to have the sign!
BTW, i did take a tour in there when i was in school in the early 70's, it was awesome and we got a free coke.

We have an old Rialto Theater that closed in the mid 80's but is being restored.

as it was back in the day.

As it is today.

And the barber shop that is with it.

Sorry bout the glare.

I like the shot of the gas station but the blue dumpster is kind of distracting

Its more modern looking than I expected. When was this closed down? There is almost always a way in! (not smashing the windows either)

I agree 100%.

The CCBC was closed in the late 70's like 76,77,78. The coke machine was much
older than the one in the photo, i think it was smaller and had the vertical door
on the side with the cokes stacked. It looks nice in there. The property is for sale.
Perhaps they keep it clean for whoever might buy it. I dont know. I should call the
broker on it sometime.
