Then and now: Gas stations disappear through the years

Remember the “50 South Shore gas stations”?

The intersection of Highway 50 and Lodi Avenue had three of them.

The Union 76 station was replaced by today’s parking for Magic Carpet mini-golf, and the Standard station was replaced by an office building.

A third station still operates.
