Vanishing Gas Stations
Story
While the great American landscape is liberally dotted with gas stations, they have quickly disappeared from the terrain of New York City. Today, there are fewer than 35 gas stations in Manhattan and only 1 station south of 23rd Street. Here are a few stations across the city.
