Restored 1929 Route 66 Gas Station : McLean, TX

Not only is this a restored 1929 gas station, but apparently, this was very the first “Phillips 66” brand gas Station In Texas.

One thing I found kind of odd was that while other restored stations along the route had glass windows and you could see inside, this one had boarded up windows that were painted to look like glass.

That said, I found both the poverty and the politics of this town to be more than a little bit disturbing

THIS in particular gave me the heebeejeebees….

With emphasis on “the civilized world” …. WTF? SERIOUSLY?
