When I first started collecting about 15 years ago there was a Super Rose station near Raymond and Shelby on the near south side of Indy. I stopped and talked to the old guy running it. Said he started working there in 1941 and bought it in the 50's. I wish I knew then what I know now and I would have kept checking back more often. I'll try to take a drive by and see if the building is still there. Great globes!
