Kevin Smith sent me some more information regarding the service station located behind Robertson Paper in Bellows Falls, Vermont that I thought you might be interested in. I posted about this location on May 8, 2016...George Dutka
The gas station was known as Ross's Garage. It was originally a Mobil station under the ownership of John & Patty Ross. Son Johnny & daughter Angie worked there pumping gas. John was a talented mechanic. In his spare time, he built (from scratch) a beautiful Super Modified race car. Despite the exterior appearance (it always looked that way), inside was immaculately clean & organized. The entire time I lived in Bellows Falls, I bought gas there & all my vehicles were serviced there, including tires. GMRC had a gas & service account with John as well. After moving to AZ, anytime I came back for visits, I'd gas up the rental car there & check up on the family. By then, Mobil had gone away, but the biz was going strong. Last visit, Fall of 2020, the building appeared vacant...Kevin Smith.
Quite an interesting looking building.
