Blast From the Past

I was trying to clean out some of the stuff in our house and found this picture. FFP says it was taken at Fifth and Brazos. The year was 1963 according to the date on the photo. Please observe the price of gas. Regular: 24.9 cents a gallon. Super: 26.9 cents. Pre-dates 'unleaded.' Not to mention self service probably and definitely 'pay the pump.' So someone probably cleaned your windshield and checked the tires and under the hood after you spent a few bucks on a fill-up. Brazos street is one-way today and was then as well. The building (a bank building) is still there, but is allegedly slated for demolition and the erection of an office building taller than the Frost Bank building.
