Haven't seen a Sinclair station with the quaint dinosaur logo for a lot of years around the east but they're still going strong out west I guess.

Okay, I know you folks who live out that way are probably used to these things, but we don't have this type of gas in my neck of the woods and seeing green dinos floating in the air is really a new thing for me.
Edit: 2022 This station became a not a Sinclair, then became a Sinclair again, but the dinosaur is gone.
After miles of driving we finally reached civilization in the form of US Route 14, just east of Midland, South Dakota. The fate of this Sinclair gas station/cafe is typical of businesses struggling to survive miles away from Interstate 90.
I wanted a shot of the abandoned station with the billboard nearby... just out of frame by the billboard is I-244 (which runs alongside Southwest Boulevard/Historic 66).
Billboard reads: Sinclair A Proud Product of Tulsa.
The Tall Sign Was Added By Sinclair In The Late 1960's, When The Station Was Built. The Original Logo Survived All The Way Until Circa 2010. Then, A Newer Square-Shaped Sinclair Logo Replaced The Previous One At That Time. Then In Early 2019, A Storm Knocked Out And Destroyed The Logo Of The Sign. Since 2019, There Unfortunately Was No Logo On The Sign.
The Station Has Always Been A Sinclair And Still Survives As One To This Day!
They Also Have Sinclair Gifts Inside The Store!

I recently finished my Warby Parker Home Try-On Program. Seriously. Try five pairs of glasses at home for five days for free. Seriously. Did I mention when you buy a pair of glasses, they donate a pair to someone in need.
My mid 1960's Sinclair bagpipes as I've known them since my Mom and Dad bought them in the late 60's.
Sinclair's Refinery and oil storage
A company called "Holly" bought this refinery after buying the Sunoco refinery. So now the Sinclair logo is painted over. The Sinclair fleet is still roaming the streets of Tulsa, however, not sure what the whole story is there. Dec '09
Visiting Radium Hot Springs and the surrounding areas for Labour Day Weekend 2013.
Always a treat to pull over before leaving the town of Radium to marvel at the beauty of Sinclair Canyon.
SINCLAIR LEWIS Story
When Harry Sinclair Lewis was born here on a bitter cold day, February 7th.1885, Sauk Centre, Minnesota was a raw prairie town with an unpaved main street and five or six blocks of false store fronts. A gawky, sensitive child who achieved little success in school and was the brunt of every crude piece of horseplay, “Red” Lewis spent most of his youth tagging after his adored older brother and doctor-father, and reading every book he could find. He began to write at age fifteen. Despite the years of lost jobs and false hopes that followed his graduation from Yale University in 1908, he persisted in his determination to be a writer.
With the publication of "Main Street" and "Babbitt", Lewis became a successful novelist and critic of American culture, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930. He returned frequently to Minnesota; never able to deny his underlying attachment to the Northern Middle West, he described it as “..the newest empire of the world…a land of dairy herds and exquisite lakes, of new automobiles and tarpaper shanties and silos like red towers, of clumsy speech and a hope that is boundless.” Lewis’ talent declined and he died alone in Italy on January 10, 1951. As he had requested, his ashes were brought home to Sauk Centre.
