While Eastern Canada thirsts for gasoline . . .

. . . some folks are waxing nostalgic for old-time gas stations. My family came to Canada in 1967, so I certainly remember seeing similar Texaco, Gulf, Sunoco, Supertest, Shell, and Esso stations before they were "modernized" into some of the worst examples of commercial architecture in the 1970's. Some of 'em couldn't have looked uglier if they were made of solid bales of orange shag carpeting.
