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.

Abbie did not loose all her prego weight. She was not skinny before, but she did not have that much of a belly. Kind of interesting she did not go back exactly to the same size like in previous Sims games.
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!

Rebuilt SR Bulleid Light Pacific, "Sir Archibald Sinclair"
Class: Battle of Britain (Rebuilt)
Wheels: 4-6-2
Built: 1947, Rebuilt: 1960

Owner: Bluebell Railway
The identical "West Country" and "Battle of Britain" pacifics were built to provide increased power for use on the Southern's secondary main lines, especially those in the West country with weight restrictions. However, some of Bulleid's novel ideas, designed to reduce maintenance costs, proved troublesome. Therefore in 1957 a programme of rebuilding the locomotives along conventional lines was started. The rebuilding of the Bulleid light pacifics added several tons to their weight, but produced, to all intents, brand-new locomotives, whilst retaining the distinctive light-weight Bulleid-Firth-Brown wheels and his superb free-steaming boiler, along with many other of the successful innovative design features.
Rescued from Barry scrapyard in 1979 without a tender, this locomotive has since then been the subject of ongoing restoration work and fundraising. A tender underframe was salvaged from a steel-works, the original intention being to use this in conjunction with a new body. However this underframe was in poor condition, and in the end only some fittings from it were used, with the tender frames being constructed at Sheffield Park from new material. A new 5250-gallon tender body has been made, and placed on it.
The formal launch into Bluebell service, as the first rebuilt Battle of Britain to steam in preservation, performed by Viscount Thurso (grandson of Sir Archibald Sinclair, who was the wartime Secretary of State for Air from 1940) on 24th April 2009. Regretably, the loco was withdrawn during October 2011, in need of further firebox repairs, which will keep it out of action for at least a year.
Ce château-là, au moins, on peut le visiter gratuitement, quand on veut, et seul, vraiment seul, contrairement au château d'Edimbourg, celui de Highlander (Eilean Donan) ou encore celui du Loch Ness. De nombreuses pancartes expliquent son histoire, et ce qu'il reste de ruines est juste suffisant pour le visualiser. La falaise, sur laquelle il est construit, qui baigne dans une eau turquoise, les nombreux oiseaux qui nichent autour, et la vue sur les terres d'en face sont autant de raisons de plus d'apprécier ce site isolé au bout de la route, après Wick.

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.
