Old Phillip's 66 gasoline station. ( Gone.) La Grange Illinois USA. January 1987.

Old Phillips 66 gas station. (Gone.) La Grange Illinois. January 1987.

I took this roadside snapshot during a January 1987 railfan photo visit to west suburban La Grange Illinois. This is an example of dissapearing North American roadside Americanna from decades past. I had no particular reason to snap this photo, but I did just for the heck of it that day. Boy! 21 years later....I am so glad that I did!
This quaint pre 1970 roadside gasoline station stood on the southwest corner of Ogden Avenue / Illinois U.S Route # 34 and La Grange Road. Today, this is the site of A Caribou Coffee take out expresso store.
