The Jackson (Tenn.) Sun: Poplar Corner Service Station in Jackson, Tenn. is one of a dwindling number left in the United States that offers full service. The service station remains a throwback to the past, a place where people can get their cars filled with gasoline by employees who also check the oil levels and tires and clean the windshield. With the influx of self-service gas stations, however, stations like Poplar Corner will soon be a thing of the past.
