Went to pick up my my wayne 70 yesterday and Took the back roads home found this little guy. Just a cool find. In front of a abandoned general store type place. its cool that the pump is important enough in this town to offset the new curb they were putting in around it.
Hunt long and hard the good stuff still out there. Jonathan lowry.

My wife and I were going across rt 20 from atlanta headed to charleston and cut off and took a side trip and saw this same pump about 10 yrs ago.It looks a little worse now and it looks like they took down some trees and redid the sidewalk.I think I have a picture of it at that time,I'll look over the weekend.Bill

I wish they hadn't have installed the "Funky" modern crbing . Allowing the G & B to be seen from the street held to it's origional concrete slab is much more in keeping with the overall archecturial signifigance of that building ............ Ed Shaver
see ya on the road folks !

It's nice to see these kinds of things still around for all to see.
They make for good pictures and conversation.

I bet the curb and sidewalk was part of the U.S. government stimulus employment program.
