Grand Ave & Perkins
The Valero gas station shows its community spirit by allowing carpoolers to cut through their corner location from Grand Avenue and pick up passengers who wait to board at the drive-way on Perkins. Two Zip Cars await drivers. A sign asks car-poolers to be courteous to patrons and to support the station for their efforts by buying their gas there. From 7:15A – 8:50A, #212 flyers.

Under the overpass at Lake Port between Lakeshore & Grand Ave., we stand for nearly two and a half hours in the cool, dank shadows, keeping pace with the swift flow of cars and passengers. It’ s like observing an overactive slinky, as the separate lines of cars and awaiting passengers expand and compress with the quick flow of this busy spot near the Walden Pond Bookstore. From 7:15A – 9:40A, #502 flyers! We earned a satisfying breakfast at the Lakeshore Cafe.
