I remember this one when I was growing up although it has been moved. The original site is now an AM/PM. The Bloomington Garage was a local landmark along US 99 (Valley Boulevard) for years. It remained in the same family ownership from 1912 until 1997 and was a Blacksmith Shop and later Gas Station. It was listed as a California Point of Historical Interest in 1991.
