A Signpost of Progress

 Paul Krot sent us these pictures of B&G work yesterday, with text.

The B&G crew prepare to lift the signpost for the future gas station into place on the corner of Railroad and Central.  The concrete foundation with anchor bolts and conduit for future lighting was installed last Saturday by B&G.



Al Choutka made the lift using the digger derrick truck while Mark Afelt steadied the post from the bucket truck.

Dave Diamond and Jerry Lynn ran the nuts down and torqued them to spec.  The sign itself will be hung at a future date.  This is one more step forward in our Main Street scene.

Thanks to Paul for sending these in.  It's more difficult than ever to keep track of everything that's going on, so we're glad to post news like this from around the Museum.  Soon, I expect we'll be advertising gasoline at 35 cents a gallon.  That's a members only price, of course.

  1. Randy - Mark Afelt not Mike Alterio in the bucket

  2. Will gas go for 25.9 at the station? Will the attendant wash your windshield, check your oil, and put air in your tires?

  3. Does erecting the gas station sigh pole mean that the movement of the gas station to its final site is scheduled for 2021?
