Here's a neat diner/cafe along old 66 in Springfield, IL. It appears to be closed down - what a shame! I definitely would have stopped in for a burger...

Check out the signpole on this ex-station car dealership! That's the real deal -- a '55 Bel Air 2DHT. More to come soon - stay tuned! [This message has been edited by thermactor (edited 10-09-2007).]

The station along old Route 66 appears to be a former Texaco. The three narrow close bands is a Texaco signature on their station design.

Now that is a cool use for an old gas station. Here's one that didn't fare so well. It was converted into an old pecan shop. I guess pecans don't make as much as BBQ.
