Location #3

Garcia's Market at 800 Alta St., near the corner of Alta & 8th St. I met with the current owners in 2007 when I took these pics, and they were kind enough to let me copy some of the old photos that they had on the wall for my project. It used to be a Mohalk gas station in the 1930's and there was an old hotel next door just to the north. I will update this with more details soon. From what I could see on Google Street View, all of the lettering on the building is gone today.

	View of the north side of the property.
	View looking north.
	View showing the original pump island.
	Possibly and air or water line at one time was here.
	I love this old Canada Dry clock.
	The old hotel building next door to the north.
	A small restaurant resides there now.
	Vintage photo from the 30's showing the old Mohawk station and pump island.
	This picture is pretty messed up, but it does show the old station in the 30's with the hotel in the background.
