The West Gulf Sales and Service Station was built in the late 1940s on what had previously been vacant land.

I'm not sure when the service station shut down. It was converted to a photography studio at some point. Since , it has housed the restaurant Vin Rouge.

The site appears to be in the sights for redevelopment by Ninth Street North developer Glenn Dickson, per a site plan filed in September 2008.
Although on that site plan, 2000-2010 Hillsborough was noted at "Future Phase" - occurring, presumably, sometime after long-delayed Phase II of the Ninth St. North development.

Damn, another truck fell over. :)
It may not be the most efficient way to do an oil change, but how else are you going to get under the engine, dig a pit?
Just rotating the tires, I think. The truck was a little too big and long for the station bay and lift.
Probably a message from the Teamsters Union! Oh, wait, this isnt Jersey!
