I have driven by a diamond in the rough for the past 2 years on my way to work. It's an old gas/service station hidden behind piles of junk, a broke down fence, a big black pitt/mutt and an encroaching forest of weeds/trees/vines. When I first started going by there it appeared that someone was still using the place to repair cars, but the last year or so its been vacant

It appears to be a porcelain sided station similar to the one located in The Henry Ford [[only the one on the davidson is all white) http://blog.thehenryford.org/2012/01...iving-america/

Last week I noticed dumpsters in the lot and a crew cleaning the piles of junk

Today that lot is mostly clean and there was a crew cutting down the wild around the fence with chainsaws

The plywood was off the front door to the station today as well and people appeared to be moving in and out of it

Anyone know if they are saving this little spot..or tearing it down? Seems an odd thing to tear down given the fact there are houses in the area that are on thier last legs..though perhaps the two things are not related..I would just think they would tear the houses down before this place if this is a city run operation [[which i dont know if it is)
