I love this. It's been a while since I've been back to visit America but as a European I always find this style of architecture very aspirational.

I particularly like proper prefabricated dinners. It's like visiting a David Lynch film and you get pancakes and coffee.

I used to drive by that gas station everyday, It was located at the bottom of Windermere and the Lakeshore area. They had saved it and moved it from what I remember but I could be wrong. Thre were a few more gas stations like that in Toronto. There was one on Bloor just before you got to High Park.
