Description: Texaco gas station and mini-market at 17191 Highway 46, Blackwells Corner, California. Blackwells Corner was originally established by local machinist George Blackwell as a service station in 1921 and eventually included a cafe and grocery store. The location became famous as the last reported stop of actor James Dean prior to his tragic death in a fatal car accident just down the highway. A fire destroyed the station in 1968, however the establishment was soon re-built. The building was later remodeled in the 2000's to include modern fixtures. View from the northwestern corner of the West Side Highway (California State Route 33) and Paso Robles Highway (California State Route 46) intersection, looking southeast. This photograph was taken with an Olympus E-510 DSLR camera and edited (brightness, contrast, saturation, crop, roatate) using ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5.5)
