This old gas station has been torn down and replaced by a parking lot.
I haven't found any history about this filling station. In 2006 it was
a family run flower shop called Petal Pushers Flowers & Gifts. It
is located at 621 Manvel Ave. directly across the street from the better
known Phillips Station. When we were there in 2012 it looked empty.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
