Work crews have started demolition at the abandoned gas station on Columbia Drive that will be converted to green space.
On Tuesday, one of three underground storage tanks was unearthed. Crews also demolished the roofing that previously covered gas tanks.
The nonprofit East Decatur Greenway purchased the old station and will demolish it and turn about two acres into green space. The station is next to the Friends School of Atlanta.
