This section of the tiny village of Broadwater, Nebraska (population just over 100), has seen better days. Like many buildings in the Old West, the old gas station on the right had a high false front that served no useful purpose other than making the place more impressive and reminding townfolk and passersby that they were for sure in the West, not back east where many began westward journeys looking for a better life on the frontier.
