I am a tourist. And I have doing typical tourist things. There are many statues when you travel that are supposed to bring you good luck when you rub them. Some of those places they are rubbed are a bit naughty at times. And I am not embarrassed to make a fool of my self and rub a statue jsut for laughs. But it just seemed a little wrong to me to go up and rub Juliet's breasts with groups of teen age girls, children and adults all standing watching. So I passed up this tourist tradition. But as you can see the statue has been touched and rubbed many times.

Must have been a busy gas station in it's time. Two pump islands! Bless the hearts of the Union Square Credit Union. They saved the place and turned it into a drive thru ATM, and even made it look pretty damned nice.

This proves how it only takes a little bit of thinking & caring about things, and you can preserve roadside history. If I lived in Wichita Falls, Texas, I can tell you who'd be MY credit union, that's for sure.
