The former Filling Station on 4th street  has been recently purchased by a longtime Barelas community activist and renamed the Casa Barelas. FOS is in the planning stages of a revitalization that will include repair of the sign and reader board, development of  community generated artwork for the upper oval, fixing the motor that rotates it, and  installation of new low-draw LED lighting. Vintage lettering will be purchased for changing messages posted on the reader board.
