This is another one of the old gas stations painted as part of the "Paint
the Town" Project. It is located at W Route 66 and S Fifth St. Thanks
to the paint job this station came to look like something it never was,
a Whiting Bros. station. At one time there was a real Whiting
Brothers Station on the east end of town.
Be sure to wave back at the friendly attendant painted on the door
of the building.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
