Based on the “wording” on the signs, that totally looks like AI.

What language do they speak in Indiana???

From what little I know of Indiana, I believe that the vast majority of them speak Basketball.
Fluently.

That looks like it would be so much fun, but may be a little restrictive.

One of my shipmates on HMV Golden Hinde was a driver of the Wienermobile before he joined the ship. He said it was super competitive getting the job and that he had more fun than he really thought it would be. Grilling dogs at county events nationwide, what is there not to love?!

Built in 1940, Mammy’s Cupboard originally operated as a family-owned Shell Gas station and convenience store. The Natchez Pilgrimage, the spring tour of the town’s antebellum mansions, had grown exponentially since it began in 1932. Tourism to the town exploded following the enormous success of Gone with the Wind, which premiered in 1939. Many Americans who saw the film later went in search of houses like Tara; Natchez offered them that and more.

Today, the gas pumps at Mammy’s have been closed off, but it remains a family-owned restaurant, named Mammy’s Cupboard, that is open for lunch.

The Teapot of Zillah.

The Teapot Dome Service Station was originally built on Hwy 410 between Zillah and Granger, Washington in 1922 inspired by the Teapot Dome Scandal. In 1978, following a car crash that caved in a portion of the main structure, the teapot was moved and reconstructed in its second location at 14691 Yakima Valley Highway in Zillah. In 1985, the teapot was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2012 the teapot was moved once again to its final location at 117 First Avenue, Zillah, Washington adjacent to the Fallen Firefighter Memorial and the Zillah Veterans Memorial.

I’ve been through Zillah a few times. I don’t remember seeing the teapot.

I’m surprised anyone would want to commemorate the Teapot Dome scandal.

Here’s a nit: In spite of the building’s and logo color references, Socony Vacuum wasn’t involved in Teapot Dome.

Socony being a New York company, makes sense MOMA has this one:

I know it’s supposed to be a teapot, but it’s just so phallic.
