A few of them were the ones I posted last month, but here are a few more: This is a simple little station in Kankakee, IL. It was probably a lot neater before it was sided over. Right across the street, though, sits this nice old station. I'm guessing it might have been a DX. Up the road a little bit is this interesting station. Bob said it used to be a Phillips 66.

I wonder if it was a D-X, from the tile color and layout? We were surprised to see this Chevrolet dealership neon on the side of a relatively new building in Wisconsin over Thanksgiving.

In addition to this sign there are both left- and right-facing Mobil pegasus signs on the front of the building that I wasn't able to get pictures of. I don't know what the story is behind the Mobil stuff, but the name of the bar is the Red Horse so maybe they just liked the pegasus image
