Downtown bp

Didn't find immediately a park west thread.

Just drive by the overpriced bp on 9 and Biscayne and saw it's ripped apart ( well the pumps at least). All pumps are removed and they are digging up large holes on the ground. Anyone know what's going on?

I hope they tear that sucker down!

It looks to me as if it's just going to have a different name. It would be nice if one of our forum members who lives downtown could look into that for us.

I got a short e-mail notice form the managment office at 900 about the gas station. All it stated was that the station would be closed for aprox 4 months for a major remodel. I dont think it is being demolished.

Crap. Thats prob why they have just moves the pumps to the side while they dig. I do remember reading somewhere once that they wanted to have a dinning area etc. With a remodel, this ugly overpriced station isn't going anywhere for a while but hopefully it'll look nicer ?

A "dining area" at a gas station? Normally, that means some dude popping open a bag of Combos in the checkout line. Maybe they're planning 'escargot by the pumps' or something?

You guys should check out El Carajo. Its a great wine and tapas spot located in a gas station off of US1.

They weren't kidding when they said Beyond Petroleum. Now they have the finest dining filling stations have to offer as well.

In Naples right off I-75 there is a gas station with a McDonalds drive through.

...and 700 other BP's across the country.

But we are talking FINE gas station dining here. "Kobe Beef Filets in an Exxon-inspired Reduction Paired With Chevron Vineyards 2008 Malbec," not a McFlurry.
