    If I were younger I'd be tempted to get smashed in there (assuming I'd be allowed in).

    Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

    From Random House: "Juke joint (or jook joint) is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring blues music, dancing, and alcoholic drinks, primarily operated by African American people in the southeastern United States. The term "juke" is believed to derive from the Gullah word joog, meaning rowdy or disorderly."
