Default Cool spot for pictures

Stopped by at Mid Ameican at Effingham, Ill, on the way back from Bowling Green. They have a neat museum, and this cool old gas station, that makes a good photo back drop.

My wife and I stopped in there on the way to the 10th Anniversary and the gas station was under construction or finishing up when we were there. Kind of neat to see it here on the forum. Great pic.

That is a nice backdrop for a pic. Their museum has some rare items and is always worth a look.
