Service Station - Bellows Falls

March 30, 2016 Bellows Falls, Vermont

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.
