gas stations

If you are a purveyor of gas station chains, you'll know this beaver mascot from miles away. If that thought gets you excited, you'll be glad to know that this very popular gas station chain is officially coming to Missouri.

I can truthfully say that I've never wished I could sleep at a gas station, but I found a place in Missouri that may cause me to change my mind. It used to be an old gas station, but someone has renovated it into a nice place to stay and it even has a lake behind it.

When you gas up now, you likely pull up to a pump, swipe a card and then you're gone. It didn't used to be this way. Here are some vintage gas stations in Missouri that show what remains from a bygone era.

There is apparently a viral TikTok challenge that involves ripping the buttons off of gas pumps. It's possible this has something to do with a security camera video that shows girls allegedly vandalizing pumps at a gas station in Hannibal.

I don't like to complain, but the no smoking signs are there for a reason.
