Another view of Mobil Gas. Side/angle view of Brueger’s Bagel’s across the street. Another shot or two of the church across the street. An evening in Amherst, in the Old West Cemetary (where Emily Dickenson is buried), which is behind-ish the station.
Lots of history in Amherst!
(all photos taken on a Nikon m70).
I don’t know anything about the house. If you know the address, it wouldn’t be hard to find…
Here are a few different shots from different angles of Renn’s Mobil Gas Station. I don’t know if J pumped gas, I’m assuming he did.. so I included close ups of them. The funky blue and green building is Mystery Train Records. Cool little house/record store with lots of vinyl and books, etc. It’s across the street /at an angle to the station. Pretty close.
There is also a shot of the church, which is directly across the street from the station. So he would have seen that quite a bit, when he worked there.
The station has probably been updated since when he worked there, but this would be where he would have pumped gas. Looking at the station straight on, the town’s Post Office is to the right of the station, and Zanna is to the immediate left (clothing store for woman). Across the street would be a view of a town church, if anyone care’s to see. It says “attach file” as an option but it’s not letting me? Weird.
I don’t know how to look up user names like on the old forum. The search function on the new forum doesn’t seem to allow this?
That’s awesome! I recently interviewed Rory’s brother/manager for my radio show. I mentioned the Rory connection (the Rory strat)- he said he’d “check Dinosaur Jr out”. He also loved the name Dinosaur Jr.
I don’t know whether there is a Rory in the Stooges or The Wipers, I’d have to check. I actually just did a tribute to Rory Gallagher on my radio show at Umass Amherst, and wished I could have gotten a brief interview with J about any Rory influence (if there is one). BTW– I plan on doing a J Mascis/Dinosaur Jr tribute in the future. I’ll be sure to share that info with ya’ll when the time comes!
