"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
14 May 2005A little less serviceA couple of weeks ago, a local auction house put up a banner at Harper's Sinclair station at NW 63rd and May, announcing that the property would be sold in June. What I didn't notice was that Harper was no longer posting gasoline prices, which at the self-service pumps had been consistently one cent below those of the Shell station across the street. Turns out that Harper's was no longer selling gas; the service bays, which are still open five days a week, will close before Memorial Day. Jim Harper has been running this station since 1957; once it's out of his hands, he and his wife are going to hit the road in an RV. Posted at 10:25 AM to City SceneI missed this in the paper - thanks for the info. This is sad news but the Harper's will be happy in their new RV seeing the country. Years ago, I worked at the full-service Sinclair station up the street where Little Caesars Pizza is today - it was one of my first jobs. I remember many times sending major repairs down to Jim Harper. I wish them the best. Have I ever mentioned how I hate change???

Well, good for them... but it sure does mean the end of an era. Posted by: Chase at 11:45 PM on 14 May 2005 |
