    Among the many things we have experienced in Winston Salem today, the most photo worthy is this - that last shell-shaped gas station in America. Apparently they were plentiful in the 30’s and forward. I do not recall seeing any.

      Also breakfast at Camino’s, incredible bake and coffee shop. Lunch at Bobby Boy’s, a French patisserie. Also fantastic.

      All baked goods here would make Paula Deen proud.

        That is a cool pic of the gas station. I like those little historical events that are found.

          What else was neat was that it had a welded drive up ramp for work under the car. No one had hydraulics then.
