Video Description:

Take a road trip down memory lane to the local gas station for some fun and fuel. During the 1950's and 1960's gas stations started popping up all over America due to ever increasing car ownership. American's needed somewhere to fill up all those cars right? From the big city to the rural countryside just about every American got to experience this newfound car culture and with it the rise of the gas station.

    WOW! Talk about a walk down memory lane! One thing that you left off though, was the gas wars they would have back in the 60's. I lived near a corner where there was a gas station on each corner. Back in the 60's, they would get into a gas war where they would try to beat each other price on gas, I saw one where it went from 32.9 all the way down to 19.9 a gallon!! That was the lowest I ever saw gas. Great memories that you won't see again!

    The video was not about the music, there's always someone out there who will complain about anything, I saw nothing wrong with the music, it was in the background I was looking at the video, Love seeing all the different signs and the old cars, and the people.

    Music was not appropriate for the 50's, but photos were good.

    The music was very distracting.
