This is a new photo Eng.Aljamea has uploaded onto his flickr account. The previous one was the Gulf Road picture and this time its a picture of a gas station. There is no date mentioned but I guess it could be the 60’s. [Picture]

This looks like early 60’s, maybe 61-62. I would venture to guess it’s the gas station in Shuwaik (residential), the one that is opposite Sahat Alalam (not far from Sheraton roundabout). I think it’s still there.
Wow .. i wonder what the price for gas was then? :P
This is an interesting photo… Nobu, I agree it looks like Shwaikh res. It is still there… Looked better then.
Don’t we all miss old Kuwait ??!!
being an american and coming to live in kuwait, one of the big things that sucks is not having shopping marts at the gas stations here
@ 5: Please, for the love of God, can we stop imposing capitalistic ideas coming from your part of the world on Kuwait?
Great pic: looks astonishingly fresh despite the heat wave this country experiences! Watan El Habibi~
kYx, agreed
Hell, I’d happily forego the kwik-marts if they were offered just to simply go into a gas station, pay and be able to leave promptly w/o waiting in a que being cut off by rude bastards..
