Hi-Tech Continues To Add Fake Brands To Collection
August 17, 2009 | 11:06 amI’m not sure why Hi-Tech is keeping all of its recent movie signage up – unless it’s attempting to become a major stop on some non-existent Decatur Movie Bus Tour – but god help any unsuspecting driver who pulls in to our eccentric gas station for a fill up.

I have to say that I only go to this business when I have NO OTHER CHOICE. Can’t stand the place.
Wait, you’re saying you’ve found a time when they’re actually OPEN?
I find it to be a uniquely charming Decatur affectation that we find our gas stations to be much more useful as restaurants (Watershed, Fellini’s, Taqueria Del Sol, Leon’s) or movie sets than, well, gas stations.
I think this is bizarre and funny. Enough to (maybe) make this my go-to gas station. I’ve been sort of lost since my Emory BP closed.
I’m beginning to realize that the Emory BP was the go-to spot for many Decatur residents, myself included. Cheapest price around. Now, I just gotta hope I drive by a QT to get a similar price.
I can’t believe how quickly they tore that place down.
I can’t remember if I ever posted this, but the Clairmont Heights Civic Association site posted this note about that station a couple weeks back.
“BP Gas Station Changes
Look for changes soon to the former BP gas station in Emory Village as the company apparently continues its retreating from the Atlanta market and prepares the property for sale. Following a hearing on July 20 with the Historic Preservation Commission, BP received approval to clean up the property, including demolishing the structures, removing underground gas tanks, and planting these areas with grass. “
That little triangle of land would be a perfect pocket park. I imagine the land is too valuable for that usage though.
