Gulf Station Saved?

In better news, it appears that Bob Chapman plans to restore the fantastic little former Gulf Station at the southeast corner of W. Geer and Foster. The Herald-Sun has more details on their site.

This is terrific news! It is such a sweet little spot. Sounds like Bob Chapman is getting pitched some great ideas. I can't wait to see what happens with it. Thanks for the follow-up, Gary!

That is fantastic news. I took some amateur photos there last year and have been worried for years that it would be torn down and replaced with something lifeless.

What does he plan to do with it? My husband and I always thought it would make a fantastic coffee shop. You could open the garage doors on nice days and people could sit in the open air and sip coffee.
