Clean and roomy pump area that's well lighted at night with fast pumps. Easy off and on to the freeway.

Where do I start, at the beginning I suppose. When I was 14 years old my parents called a family meeting. My siblings and I all thought 'oh great, Uncle Ralph is on the sauce again'. See Uncle Ralph would go on benders and my aunt would kick him out of the house on account of all the empty beer cans and broken toilets (dont ask, trust me!) Ralph left in his drunken stupor. When Ralph fell off the wagon he always found his way to our house. My Mom just couldn't turn away her little (drunken!) brother when he was in trouble. Anyways like I was saying we thought oh great Uncle Ralph is gonna be crashing here again when our parents said we had to have a family meeting. But it turns out it wasn't that at all. We were going to sell our house and buy a bigger one! Oh boy was this big news. We moved to our new house just a few short months later. The best thing about this new house? VERY close to a Meijer store with a gas station. There's just something about Meijer that really puts a grin on my face. Once I got my drivers license I knew where I was gonna go first. The Meijer gas station baby! It was so cool pulling up to the gas pump and pumping gas. This was way back in 1999, so gas was around a dollar a gallon. Pretty good, right? Well guess what happened one day. I was watching the 5 O'clock news on WHIO-TV (Channel 7 Dayton OH) when Cheryl McHenry announced that krogers was going to build a new store with a gas station, and it was going right next to MY favorite Meijer gas station. Boy was I steamed. Who the heck cares about krogers when there is a Meijer already there? Fast forward about a year and I'm driving a sweet Pontiac 6000LE! Saved up a few pesos (j/k, they were dollars!) from my summer job as a custodian at an elementary school and bought that bad boy. The krogers gas station was having their stupid grand opening and I decided to go to Meijer and show krogers who owns the corner of Brandt and Harshman. Guys you'll never believe what was happening. They were having a price war on gas, with gas prices at 25 cents a gallon! Oh boy. The lines for both were super long, people just love a bargain! By the time I got to the gas pump the price was 13 cents a gallon! Best smelling gas I ever bought too! Anyways fast forward to 2021 and I find myself traveling up I75 and needing to get gas and take a little potty break. I pulled off the highway in Bowling Green OH and guess what I saw? A Meijer gas station! So we went there and bought gas and tinkled. The gas was more expensive, but it had the EXACT same scent of the gas on that day in 1999. Talk about a stroll down memory lane! read more
