Eat and Get Gas, Why, Yes, You Do

old gas station sign in SE

Found this old gas-station sign in the window of an auto parts store on SE Morrison, and thought it was hilarious and wanted to share.

Yes, a part of my brain is perpetually 12 years old.

    One of our favorites was The Clock cafe north of Kalama, Washington. (The building stood until about 10 years ago, and the site is now an RV park mostly obscured by those fast-growing cottonwood trees.) You could see for a mile ahead the cafe’s large sign, “THE CLOCK.” Atop these words, in different lettering, was the roadside imperative of the day, “EAT.”

    So, yes, the sign actually seemed to say, “EAT THE CLOCK.”

    They just don’t make roadsigns like they used to.

    on the 97S, as you come in to Klam Fallz, you pass Cocula’s Mexican Restaurant. If you are lucky enough to pass it at night, when the neon is on, you are passing Cocula’s Mexican Rant.
