Hi Tom, it's so fun to see all these recognizable places. The above one made me think of this picture a little bit

Rosemary, I was actually thinking of pulling into a single pump gas station on a Montana or Utah two lane road when I saw the sunset sky above this full-serve mega-pumped Wawa between two of the busiest roads in South Jersey.
I can't believe I had forgotten all about that George Tice photo. Now (after your reminder) I remember the first time I recognized the location of his photo. I even shot a photo there just last week (they are re-painting the water tower) from the 7-11 parking lot.
The light wasn't that great, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.
I'd be great if YOU - or any other readers - have shot any updated versions of New Jersey photos by famous photographers. Send them to me at roadtrip@phillynews.com as email attachments, so I can share them here.
Anyone out there retracing Ester Bubley footsteps?
cheers, TomG
