I'll be driving from Chattanooga, TX through Birmingham, AL, Jackson, MS and Shreveport, LA in the next couple of days. Always interested in buying very nice condition signs and I was wondering if anybody knows of any places worth stopping along the way.
Any tips appreciated!
Thanks,
Drew

FWIW there is a decent 'antique' place just down Hwy49 south from I20 past Richland, MS. Just south of Jackson, MS. It's a little of 'everything' not just petroliana stuff.
Sorry can't think of a 'old gas' place on I20.
Good travels,
Michael

Hahaha. Thanks for the tips. Not looking for anyone's secret hunting place; I don't have the time to go pull things out of the woodwork (wish I did!)...
I'll try to take a look at the place you mentioned, Michael. Who knows what we might come home with!

I know of a couple of places, you could stop, just as long as your wife isn't with you.
