Thanks for publishing my photograph, @ggwash.

It’s of a gas station, one with a lot of history, at the intersection of 15th and U Street, Northwest, in Washington, DC (of course). Click through to the image to learn more.

If you operate a gas station in DC, there’s no workable way to close it or replace it with something else—but that’s about to change. Right now station owners need approval from the Gas Station Advisory Board (GSAB) to close. The GSAB hasn’t had members since 2008, so there’s no one to get approval from.
