After years of passing the plot of land that is now the gas station designed to resemble a pleasant suburban estate house in Hughsonville, a historic hamlet in the Town of Wappinger, Cameron’s Mobile Gas Station and Deli is now open. This is their 8th location in New York.

To celebrate their Grand Opening, they are running a sale on gas! While the United States continues its more-than-ever aggressive pursuit of imperializing the world for oil, minerals and other natural resources, the price of gas has become the new discount shopping. Before noon, the cash price of gas at Cameron’s Mobile was $4.11/gallon ($4.19 credit...that usual 10 cent spread has been shrinking at other gas stations during this U.S. imperialist takeover of Iran). Up 9D, from Beacon to Poughkeepsie, this was the cheapest priced gas. By 5pm, it creeped up to $4.16 cash.

But a $2.99 Bacon Egg and Cheese awaited inside! And nice patio dining outside. We did not go inside to inquire if the windows above the gas station were indeed apartments (haven’t taken the time to look up the site plans online), but a balcony door was open upstairs on Sunday’s spring morning, which looked nice.

The signs protesting this gas station seem to be down for now. For a couple years, the signs protesting the build of the gas station read something like “Hughsonville Against The Gas Station.” Then, when the gas station started to be built, the signs changed to “Hughsonville *Still* Against The Gas Station).”

Meanwhile...the parking was generous in the parking lot. The Beacon Volunteer Ambulance (BVAC) Ambulance could park comfortably. Pulling out of the gas pumps was fine to take a left onto New Hamburg Road, right across the street from the hot pink Russian nesting dolls house.

From the website, it looks like Cameron’s Deli serves food 24/7 and you can order online! You can order ahead.
