Old service stations in Taylors
This time of year I like to stay indoors out of the heat and the humidity. This particular morning I was in the mood for an easy, quick photo trip before it got too warm. I've been looking at photos of old service stations from around South Carolina lately, and but none of the ones in Taylors. I certainly knew how to fix that, and this particular morning was that time. I parked at the Taylors branch library, first to check out the book An Account of Taylors, South Carolina by the late Jean Martin Flynn, and second to walk down West Main St. the short distance to what was Allison's Service Station. Allison's Service Station (seen above) is now a hair styling business. The gas tanks are long gone, replaced by an attractive, colorful flower bed. My second target was a former Esso station at the intersection of West Main St. and Wade Hampton Blvd. The place was packed with cars, so I just kept going. This photo I took in 2010 will do: This was originally Bomar...
