[QUOTE=chipj29]A couple notes. First of all, I grew up in Lynnfield, almost directly across the street from the big white rock at PB's BP station. Used to pedal down there for a 25 cent Fanta orange soda (glass bottle!). That would have been mid-70's. You probably went up Rt 1 to 114, or you drove through Lynnfield Center to Middleton/114. And when you say the Indian cliff/mocassin store, are you talking about the place on rt 3/28 in Hooksett?

Do you think it's true that PB's is the oldest filling station in the country? That's their claim.

Yes, the Indian cliff/mocassin store in on 3/28 in Hooksett - I saw it was for sale a few years ago - haven't driven by lately to see if it's still there, and what it has become.

Guess I'm older than you - I remember when orange soda in a bottle (Crush, not Fanta) was 10 cents plus 2 cents deposit.

Thanks for the reply,
Captain Bob
