Last month as I was driving through Longview, Texas, on a day trip I decided to stop by my favorite place to shop. I noticed there was a new addition - a pump jack which was actually pumping oil! Only in Texas will you find an active oil well in the middle of a retail business area!

i remember driving through Texas on I-10 and miles and miles and miles of these things. but in town? wow on that one. i wish i owned it
capitalizing on every drop...
Where there is oil...there's a way!
One of the neat things I like about our state. Just wish I had property with one on it.
There's oil in those retail outlets.
Never have I seen one in a retail setting. My grandparents had one on their land, but it is no longer producing. This is kind of cool...I guess! :)
Only in Texas indeed but somehow it doesn't seem inappropriate.
That is something we don't see here in Arizona but I've seen plenty of those in Texas and Oklahoma but I haven't seen one quite that close to a shopping area.
Yes, only in Texas. Great photo.
Have a nice week.

That's surprises me, wouldn't have imagined a pump right in town. It makes for a great silhouette though.
Amazing in the middle of town.
I've seen them in California. I hate them.
Isn't this a bit noisy?
Hmmmm. I guess the owners cannot resist making a few BIG BUCKS.
Great stuff! :-)
