A look at the Gay Parita station February 8, 2008

KOLR-TV in Springfield, Mo., has a story about Gary Turner’s re-creation of the Gay Parita gas station on old Route 66 west of Springfield in a settlement called Paris Springs.
Here are more photos of Gay Parita.
There’s a video link with the story. But buried in the story is this item that’s not on the video:
Gary Turner says a representative from Sinclair will visit the site early next month for a look around. Turner hopes the company might consider naming his gas station as a Sinclair museum.
That’d be great if it happens.

April Wilkerson of the Shawnee (Okla.) News-Star paid a visit to the Route 66 Interpretive Center in Chandler, Okla., which is in the town’s historic armory building. Check it out.
And check out the interpretive center’s Web site, too. It’s been overhauled in a major way.
