Historical Flashback: Christmases Past
This Mt. Lebanon Gulf Station was located at the corner of Cedar and Cochran roads from sometime in the 1940s until it was razed in 1964. It was decked out for a Gulf Oil Christmas contest for best decorated station in the tristate area. It won in 1957.

There’s something incredibly nostalgic about the holiday season – no matter how old you are. Some think of big snows and aluminum trees decked with Shiny Brite Christmas ornaments. Others remember gleefully unwrapping Cabbage Patch Kids under real trees adorned with Hallmark Keepsake ornaments. Christmas parades, visits from Santa, and decorated landmarks are all part of the memories that we will treasure.
