Another great pic! Is the guy on the left curb getting ready to change the left rear tire?
By the blur of the guy coming up behind him, I suspect he's getting ready to feel a swift kick to his backside !
Our church camp is right near Henning. The town hasn't changed much since this photo was taken. ;)
Same spot today. The large house next door past the service station is still there. The upper hip-roofed section of the second story on the home is just barely visible in the old photo. That light pole may be the same one next to the Model T in the old photo but the T is gone.
The columns at the corner of the gas pump bay hipped roof are just pipes or something today. They might have cut that gas bay back some to widen the street and had to take down the original columns closer to the curb.
The buildings on the right side of the street seem to have new fronts but they still are there.

Great picture and cool old town setting. Just saw this one.I couldn't read the sign on the oil company. Tim
Tim, If you hold the Ctrl button and either press the + key or roll the wheel on the mouse, you can enlarge up to 500% I actually learned the + key trick not too long ago from a post here on the forum. Then, by dumb luck, I realized rolling the wheel will do the same! So... that being said, it looks like the sign reads "Henning Oil Co."
That picture has been on here before!

Funny, I was thinking it looked like Marty McFly and his everpresent life preserver... ;)
Great pic! Thanks for sharing!
Jason, you suppose Marty hid his Delorean behind the gas station?
I'm thinking he used the locomotive from 3...
;)
Jason, so this must be 4 ?
