The Chevron station at West Alabama and Montrose has been closed for at least a year now. Some crafty street artist has begun to use the boxes covering the old pumps as a blank canvas for flyposting. We may not have WK Interact or Banksy in Houston, but we've got our own bit of street-level discourse. There are at least two of these ghosts, each on a pump box facing Montrose Boulevard. I think they've been silkscreened onto kraft paper and then wheat-pasted onto the box. I can't get close enough to tell.
