This old Whiting Brothers gas station has been pressed into service as the office of the local Justice of the Peace. For international travelers, a JP is a local judge with the power to marry people, settle traffic violations, and hear other local court matters. Get caught speeding in a small town or rural area and you might well meet the local JP in person.

The pump islands are still in place on either side of the column supporting the canopy.

x 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
xDid 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.
