Main Gate. A plaza fountain would have been a nice touch. The dredged out area still indicates the location of a gas station.
The much higher taxation at local gas stations is maybe a Dawes plan legacy (roughly a general taxation on transportation, rail services were originally targeted). The idea worked so well that it became a cultural heirloom in some parts of the world. A good idea needs no special cause. Variant reading: Maybe it simply has not yet become common knowledge that all reparation and debt payments were canceled in 1931 (Hoover Moratorium), for France as well as for Germany that is. France relied on the reparations for her own debt payments. No other connection. Fictitious dismall speech: Shake hands and let that be a lesson for you both. In petto: Spoiled brats. I wonder if they will ever learn. - General gas station lore: Underbidding by small European nations with extended catchment areas is still somewhat of an issue.
