The lady that owns it has had it in her family since it quit pumping gasoline about Febuary of 1953. It became a take out B B Q resturant known as Triangle B B Q . Her grandfather had a delicious recipee that honestly was outtta dis worl ! I used to go up there in the evening when the meat was just comming in . He would sell me a Pulled pork sandwich and coffee for three dollars . Outstanding ! Anyway , I moved to Texas for years and returned to Richmond only to find the place almost out of business . The paint was sandblasted off the building this past year and no one is there now . I would of course tear off the front extension that was added to have a kitchen on the premissis . I then would find me a National Simplex gasoline pump and procede to try and resurect the place back to 1923 . I kow I could never actually sel gasoline there , but hey , I could sell cold drinks and candy to suport the electric bill ! Ed Shaver
