But now, at 101 years old, this historic building is set to be demolished--unless a grassroots group of citizens can find a way to save it. 'Gas & Coke' examines this magnificent building that most people have seen only in fleeting glimpses as they drive down Highway 30. Through interviews with those who are fighting to save the building, the film attempts to explain why, at this particular moment in Portland's history, a beat-up structure on the city's industrial waterfront seems to matter more than ever.
