It’s been a while since I’ve posted any photos of nicely reycled gas stations here. It’s a matter of not doing so many rambling road trips lately. I did venture up to Mississippi late last year and I meandered a bit on my ride from Florida to Connecticut this spring, so I have a few new ones. They are below, and they will of course make it to the full collection.

Vicksburg, MS. The Amazing Grace Restaurant. It was the “Now Serving Breakfast” sign on this nicely reused station that grabbed my attention. It was worth the stop. Since my stop in December, it has moved across the street and has been renamed The View, in honor of its view of the Mississippi River.

Wilmer, AL. This classic old style station is now the office of a used car lot. It would make a great tiny residence and the bones look good.

Palm Springs, CA. My friend, Leslie Dreier, sent me this photo. Even a check cashing store looks a bit glam in Palm Springs.

Greenville, MS. This is an appropriate style of classic gas station to house something like the Delta Monument Company. The building is a monument of sorts all by itself.

Florala, AL. This station’s been in the same family since 1925 and there’s quite the story behind it.  Ed Smith operated it for 53 years—until 1978– when he was killed in a robbery.   A suspect was found, and tried, but acquitted. The crime remained unsolved for 38 years.  In 2016, that same man, in jail for life for a murder in 1995, confessed to Ed Smith’s killing.  Ed’s son, Charlie, who took over the station after his father’s death, still owns it.  It was all decorated for the holidays when I happened by in December of 2025.

Pearson, GA. This old station is now Jo’s Cafe. I dropped in, of course, for breakfast.

Natchez, MS. The Midtown Grill. I like the way the pump island has become a long built-in picnic table.

Columbia, MS. The Refilling Station. At first I thought it was a cleverly-named restaurant or bar, but according to its Facebook page, “We are an eco friendly, bulk retailer for dry goods, household products and personal care products.”

That’s it for now. Don’t forget, the whole collection is here.
