I passed by the new gas station at Fairfax and Beverly the other day, and had to look twice. Crackle glass, waterfall fountain, French roofing tiles. It's something out of Vegas, not the Fairfax district. According to the L.A. Weekly, the Exxon gas station cost owner Jeff Appel $1 million to build. It's a throwback to the days when gas stations, like other otherwise ordinary buildings, were built as functional works of art.
