Just a brief comment about the edited post above. My grandfather Webster Mick established Mick’s Gulf Service in 1930. There was no gas station prior to that date. G. Mick, Jr.

The state purchased the Elmer property in the early 1970’s. The building had been abandoned for many years, and was in disrepair when purchased by the state. The building and approximately 8 acres of land were purchased for the reported sum of $47,000. I remember accompanying my father when...
