History

What a cute little station, and a great name. Gemma seems to think it was on Allens Avenue. We’d love to have some more info about it.

Anecdotes

Mike Blake I don’t know how long ago you posted these, but as I write this I’ve just found that “Zam” himself died only a couple of months ago. “Guido C. Zampini October 18, 2007 6:00 AM. Guido was the owner and operator of the former Zam’s Service Station in Providence for over 40 years. He was an Army Veteran of World War II and was an avid Yankees fan and a handyman who loved to fix things. He also loved to garden.” RIP Zam.

scott patterson  love the site. that photo of zam’s gives me chills. when I worked for providence dpw, I went there to pick up some tires that had been dumped there. we heard all this barking from the inside. There were several emanciate dogs, long neglected, living in filth and left for days, as far as i know. really sad.

Bob Renell  Zams was located on the corner of Eddy st. and Eudora st. I think Astro plating bought and demolished it in the late 80s
