Landmark of Nostalgia - Soulsby's Service Station

[D-Cycle]

This gas station is a landmark along Route 66 in the town Mt. Olive, Illinois. I remember back in the 80s when it was still in service. My old man would always stop here on the way to my grandparents' house to fill up his car. An old service man would always come clean the windshield and check under the hood. Lots of memories. Now this place is a mini museum and attraction along America's Highway!

Nice pic! Can you still check out the inside of the shop or only the outside?

It is a mini museum now. You can visit inside whenever!

Nice picture and bit of history too. Route 66 is somewhere I plan to do once kids have flown the nest.
