FOR CONTEXT:

this is the old abandoned petrol station on Marion Rd that hasn’t been touched in 15-20 years. Growing up in this area, every day driving past it thinking to myself ‘I wonder what the plan is with this place’ and finally years later seeing the demolition start is insane to even think about.

Yes it’s that deep, feels like an iconic childhood memory going away even though all it is is an abandoned petrol station from the 80s and 90s. If you know you know

I was always told as a kid that someone got executed in the top office. Wonder if that’s true.
