Riley's and Shell Gas Station
| View across State Street, near the corner of West Gorham Street, towards Riley's Wine and Liquor Shop on the left, and a partial view of the Shell Gas Station on the right. Riley's is located in an Art Deco building. Behind the gas station is the Montgomery Ward Service Repair Department. A truck, belonging to the Shell Station, is parked in the service station lot next to Riley's. There are two billboards above Riley's roof, and the one on the left reads: "Make the Sunrise: Orange Juice, Grenadine, Jose Guervo," and the one on the right is only partially visible, and reads: "Proudly We Serve in the Air Force." |
