The joys of gas stations

I noticed today that I never have seen a gas station inside a building. I wonder if there is some sort of law that states that you cannot place a gas station inside a building.

I was walking through a gas station in River North in Chicago (north of all the tall buildings in chicago) and noticed the nice view given because the gas station was so flat and low compared to the rest of the buildings. Despite the fact that I own no car, I enjoy gas stations in the city.

The joys of gas stations
* Pedestrians can cut the corner.
* No high buildings blocking panoramic views
* Quickie-Marts
* The sweet smell of gasoline (uh, not)
* Non-car owners are reminded of the savings of owning no car
* Fill up bike tires with air
